Indestructible dog toys?

We recently adopted an adult lurcher. She's fairly small and loves playing but has systematically destroyed pretty much everything she has had! Her favourites are balls- she's disposed of dds favourite Frozen ball, two of ds's footballs and my huge birthing ball, not to mention a few random neighbours bouncy balls. Smile she loves soft toys but just rips them apart. The only one that's withstood the test of time so far is the tug rope, which I'm not a fan of.
Any ideas on good toys that don't simply fall apart would be much appreciated!

The Kong range is good and durable. They do wear out eventually, but last a lot longer than ordinary toys. The Wubba can be used as a tug toy, but is a ball in strong canvas with 'tails' so can be used as a throw toy too.

My whippet has destroyed almost everything we have bought him and he's not particularly destructive.

One of my lurchers loves to 'ded' soft toys and balls, and the only toy that has survived any length of time is sharky and a Kong.

Balls, ball on a rope, and frisbees are reserved for play together only and are considered to be massively exciting, esp squeaky balls

My terrier loves a squeaky ball, and the ones that last the longest are the JW shaped ones, "good cuz", "bad cuz" etc.

I can 100% recommend balls called chuckit .... They are amazing! My dog destroyed every single toy that my German shepherd had when he arrived and still does, at 3 years old. My gsd 'munches' on this ball for hours and they are totally intact and look like new. Lots to choose from, have a look on eBay, they are worth every single penny :)

Ours is also a destroyer of toys, those that have stayed the course have been kong toys, with the exception of a hard rubber ball that I picked up in Wilkos for a couple of pounds and a chicken flavour rubber bone she's had since a pup - no idea what make it is. She has a kong classic (for stuffing with treats when we go out), a wishbone, a safe stick and a dental stick. We tried her with a wubba but it only lasted a few days. She also has a stag bar.

She very quickly shreds tug ropes but loves tug games so I made a tugger out of plaited fleece a couple of months ago and it seems to be lasting well. Google brings up a number of variations, very simple (and cheap) to do.

I second 'Chuckit' balls - ours look brand new a year on... all other toys are destroyed within weeks!

Look at the Boomer Balls on Amazon (or elsewhere). They are completely indestructible! DDog loves hers.
