I have a 13 yr old Pom that is the ultimate toy destroyer - so much so - that I've nicknamed her "Jaws". Stuffed toys are demolished in record time - she just has to get that squeaky out, and then the stuffing too. Even the tennis balls or hard rope toys, she can demolish in no time. I think she prefers her toys in pieces, and has a toy box full of "body parts" from all the different stuffed toys. And she plays with them all - so if she's happy that way - then so am I!
