I bought the ball for my absolute ball-crazy and very energetic Labrador. I was thinking there would be 3 balls in the package and was initially disappointed. But one ball was really worth the money! Even the beach holiday has survived the ball and was the absolute favorite toy of my dog. After half a year in daily use of the ball was still whole and had not even traces (other balls hold in this dog maybe two walks out). Unfortunately, he's so good to throw the ball out of reach now in a hedge is, however, immediately order a new one!
