Dog Toys? Help Me Out?

As far as how many, I would go with about 6 or so. I say this many, because you will need to have enough that you can switch the toys out every couple weeks or so, so that your dog does not get bored with them. Never leave ALL of the dog's toys where they can get to them 24/7. Dogs need variation in their toys so they do not get bored. A bored dog can become a destructive dog, and worse, rather quickly. As far as what kind, that depends on the dog you are getting. Here's a decent guide as to what type of toys to buy: Toy, small, and some medium breeds (not including breeds that are known chewers such as labs, pit bulls, etc...): The cute fluffy, squeaky, etc.. toys should be just fine. Rubber bones, balls, etc... are also good. Pretty much any toy large enough that they wont choke on any pieces, and small enough that they can get their mouth on it, etc... will work for these breeds. Some medium breeds (again, the medium breeds that are known chewers), large and giant breeds: You will need to get a heavier, more well made toy. The cute fluffy and squeaky kind, wont last these breeds long at ALL. Kongs and other thick rubber toys, etc... are your best bet for this type of dog. If you know what breed of dog you are getting, you can research them to find out whether they are considered strong chewers or not, to help decide what toys are best for your dog. Sometimes, the best toys you can offer your dog, are the free, home made kind. For example, old socks with knots in them make for great tug toys (remember though to NEVER let the dog win), old plastic pop bottles, etc... (these should ONLY be given when supervised to prevent the dog from swallowing any of the pieces). Pop bottles can also make great mental stimulation for dogs. You can stuff healthy treats, their food, etc... down into them, then the dog has to work to get them out. Mental stimulation toys for dogs are also a GREAT idea. Toys that you can fill with treats or food and then make the dog work to get them out, are not only fun for the dog, but it keeps them from getting bored mentally. Keep in mind that a dog not only needs physical exercise, but mental exercise as well. You can get some decent results if you google "mental stimulation toys for dogs". Congrats on the new addition, and best of luck with them!

1. Are there any indestructible dog toys out there?

KONGS! i have an akita.. they work TRUST ME!

2. Stronger dog toys than Kongs?

There is a hard polyethylene ball sold by Drs Foster and Smith that is virtually indestructible.This is the same kind of ball that you might see Polar Bears playing with at the zoo. They are that strong. This is the only thing that I can think of that could be stronger than a Kong. Some dogs can tear up that hard kind of rubber used to make Kongs. When I was younger, Hartz Mountain had a toy called a Puppy Nut (looked like a big hardware nut) made out of the same kind of rubber as a Kong. My Westie Poodle loved it, but could not chew it up. Emerson, my best friend's dog (a Heinz from the Pound, but he may have been part Tasmanian Devil), chewed them up in no time flat. This kind of ball is the only thing Emerson could not chew up. We used them for the Husky Girls, too. We had a kiddie pool then, and they liked to play with them in the water because they bob and float. These are very hard balls that animals can not get their teeth into.

3. What kind of toys can you give a dog that destroys all dog toys?

My dog's the same so we got him a toy called "Rags". It's basically a big knot of rope and string and is (so far) indestructible. You can get them from most pet stores and toy stores. I recommend trying one - they are pretty cheap and she probably wont be able to rip it apart. Hope this helps!
