How does a dog owner know what kind of dog toys to buy for their dog? Knowing information about your dog breed and just knowing your pet and what they “get into” when they are bored should indicate what kind of toy will best suit your dog.

Watching a dog’s behavior as they choose a toy out of toy box or out of a pile of toys is quite interesting.

Dogs are so interesting to watch!

Popular medium dog breeds include: Beagle, Basset Hound, Welsh Corgi, Cocker Spaniel and Schnauzer. These breeds tend to weigh 20 lbs to approx 45 lbs. A medium dog toy needs to be large enough so your dog does not choke and small enough to handle with their paws and get their mouth around it.
