Years ago I had a dog that would chew it's way out of chain link kennel. At an independent pet supply store I found a couple of toys made from used firehose sheathing that was flattened and sewn. It took years for that pup to finally chew into those things.  Now I'm back to having a young GSD (?) we adopted off the street and she's a chewer. Can't seem to find toys made of this any longer. ETA: one was a hose folded over a couple times making a flat hexagon, making it a good frisbee type toy that she could gnaw on. Anyone know a source?

Also, if anyone wants to guess on the breed? About 40 lbs, not chipped, 6-8 months old was a local.vet techs guess.

We have a 5 month old rescue German beagle now, terminator should be his name.
Search for kevlar chew toys. We have good luck with some chew toys from Petsmart [maybe firehose?] flat duck, chicken. We just got a Nerf "dog flyer" that is made of some type of very dense but pliable plastic, we'll see...
here is an upcycled firehose throwing toy

Don't sleep on the Nylabones either.

We have two destroyer of things in our house and Nylabone are the only brand they have never been able to destroy, ever.

I initially found one they dug up in the yard from previous owner's before us.  After a month or so, I noticed little to no damage. 6 months later, more of the same.  They eventually get bored with them.

I looked into the Nylabones and the newer versions have a scent/flaver built in, all the way through, so a few times a year, we'll pick up a few new additions.  They gnaw the crap out of them, but never destroy one.

Last summer I hit a fairly large one, with our ZTR, I guess it had been hiding in the grass. It made a god awful racket and two hunks flew out.  Ruger flew off the back porch to retrieve his now 2 piece bone, gave me the stink eye and commenced to chewing on it.

Unless they somehow cheap out and screw the Nylabone up, I'm forever a customer.
