I find that part great. Beautifully colorful. Rolled almost always different than you think. Smells strange -'ve ventilate a few days. But it is quite large and heavy. My Kromfohrländer Puppy bites not around it. In fact, he even dares not even ran correctly. He is interested and jumping around it, it is also barked at times, but touching - no, better not ... The need probably still a while ...
Update as of 17/06/2013: I had the rugby ball easily packed away again and conjured up about 1-2 months later. Then it was no longer so scary. ;-) Meanwhile, not only properly chewed it, no! My Kromi uses it for massage. For this he puts the rugby ball in a corner of his cuddly cushion and then wallows around it. It is now so fully accepted.
