Kong! Kong! Kong!
They are like all day fin!
just stuff them with food, peanut-butter, freeze yoghurt in it, freeze beef stock in it, and they will like stay there all day trying to get the food out.

are they are hard to break
The pit foster we had could reduce a hockey puck to shreds in 7 minutes (we timed her) and I am talking SHREDS. She has yet to destroy at Kong.

Get the Red one for a beagle. My beagle loves it. The blacks are for someone like the pit

She's 14months.

She's training in agility. We just got invited to join a HIGHLY compettive team. We are training for Nationals 2007 since she's too young this year.

My absolute favorite interactive toy line is by JW PET toys. In particular the Hol-ee Mol-ee extreme, it's made of Kong like material but is different from the Kong in that it provides the added visual stimulation. I also love the Kong, JW PETS just has so many other designs that I now carry their line for my own clients:)

A plastic gal jug with a few rocks inside and a rope tied to handle.

Great point. Holee molee works best if you stuff a few dog cookies or chunks of dehydrated chicken or salmon (my dogs favorite) in it....otherwise it's just a another ball covered in holes. Make it easy to get the cookies out at first, then when the dog gets the hang of it make the cookies a little larger and harder to get out. Be creative, my dogs (all 5 of them) love theirs and bring them to me to stuff for them and then they all go off to their favorite sun spot to work on them - sometimes for up to an hour.
Any toy that is meant to have things stuffed in it is going to be interactive, so important for puppies and dogs. JW Pet also carries a spericon (great for stuffing longer treats such as bones in. There is also holee roller in many sizes which can be stuffed with tennis balls, stuffy/rope toys or treats in the smaller ones for smaller breed dogs.:D

pup-man... :) :)

That reminded me of a funny story. Barley, though not a beagle, has an amazing nose. When I took him to my dad's house, he went straight to the "pet cemetery" in his backyard to unearth his ancestors... they've gotta be about 3-4 feet deep, and in boxes, too!

It's pretty eerie when I drive through the cemetery here with Chip. Head out of window sniffing all the dead !
