I purchased the Air Kong Squeaker dumbbell for a friends small dog. The dog is only about 9 months old and weighs about 15 lbs. My friend indicated that 10 minutes after she gave him the toy he had chewed it up. The insides were hanging out etc... I had hope the toy would have lasted much longer then that, but unfortunately it did not. If you have a dog that is a chewer, this is not the toy for him or her.

I have a pug, so I figured that this would be the perfect size for him to naw on. He really enjoys it, but it hasn't squeaked since the first day. I thought since my dog has such a small mouth that he couldn't break it, but maybe he did? Either way, it's a pretty good toy.

My Cardigan Welsh Corgi absolutely looooooves this entire family of toys. He currently has a working collection of the dumbell, donut, football, and stick (I call it his "cigar")shapes that he is somehow still able to get a squeak out of even though i am unable to, no matter how i try.
Be warned, however, that dogs who love to squeak-squeak-squeak all the way home repeatedly just MIGHT annoy the neighbors if you live in a tight urban area like mine. My solution is just to give the Air Kongs a curfew of no play after 9pm or before 8am. So far so good.
These toys are probably not for heavy chewers or for dogs who love to defuzz regular tennis balls, but for corgis like mine, these have been a delightful find. Plus, this price is a good $5 cheaper than i usually see at the local pet stores.

My dog is a power chewer, despite her small size. She has destroyed red Kongs and various other toys marked for strong chewers. This particular toy though, lasted a lot longer than normal, as would a regular tennis ball. My dog loved throwing it around, shaking it as if it were prey, and the squeaker is an added bonus (even though it can get quite annoying).
Despite puncturing holes in it with her teeth, it was still very much in playable condition. We only throw it out once our dog starts to pull off the tennis ball fur and eat it, and then lots of the fur start coming off or sticking out.
Basically, if your dog likes tennis balls (and those fare somewhat well for you) then so would this particular toy.
