Naturally, my daughter and I were excited about buying toys for our whippet puppy.
He is not interested in them?
Furry, crinkly snake toy - ignores it and prefers to play with a scarf that he found in my daughters room.
Puppy kong - was interested for two seconds then has completely ignored it but absolutely loves the cardboard backing it was attached to.
Teething rubber bones flavoured with milk and beef - will only chew if you hold it in his mouth. He much prefers my slippers and will walk around with a slipper in his mouth and then mouth it to his hearts content!
Chew rings - doesn't want to know. Screwed up ball of paper more fun.
Balls - ignores completely but loves finding a big leaf and playing with that.
Knotted chew rope- enjoyed at first for half a minute but now doesn't want to know. Absolutely loves it if he can chew on one of my daughters dreadlocks or my long hair and we have to quickly remove him and place a toy in his mouth before we are left bald!
We have the toys in a big box and only get one or two out at a time so as not to overwhelm him but he really isn't that interested!
Wasted money or will he grow to like them?
Previous dogs have loved their toys but were older. Whippet will be seven weeks on Monday so is very young.
