My 75 lb shepherd cross adored his Duckworth but I wonder how it works with smaller dogs - 30-40 lbs when grown.

If you already owned one Mr.Duckworth than shouldnt you be able to answer your own question? This toy is much bigger than you'd expect, but he's light. i bought him for my lab puppy when he was only 25lbs or so and he had no problem tossing this around.

The large Duckworth was my 14 year old Chihuahua's first toy. He is now on his 3rd one. It's the only toy he will play with. We have 10 chi's an a bucket full of toys an he only plays with the duck.

my 15 lb Chihuahua-Jack mix loves this toy. He drags it all over, and shakes it. It was an xmas gift and is still good no holes.

I bought one for my neighbor's dog. Not sure what kind it is, but it is definitely smaller than 12 pounds. No problems at all.

It's fine for my eleven pound dachshund but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my eight pound Pom. I have a collar that I've put on a collar that is smaller than it one it came on and I'm trying to get the connectors to work right. The collar that comes with it is way too big. So...I haven't figured out the right combination yet to see if I can get it to work. If I do, I'll post it to this same inquiry.

sorry.... I am not sure.. I have always had smaller dogs.. 15 pounds and under..... ask the manufacturer what they suggest..

I just got the small one and it would be to small for a larger dog of go with the big one.

I am only sure, but I think they have a variety of sizes depending on weight. I have a 50 lb dog and it seems like a lot of spray, so I'm not sure how it would affect a small dog

I have a 75lb lab mix on this and it's fine. He doesn't pull much though. I think if your dog is going to be pulling it a lot it won't hold him.

My dogs are 80lbs and 140lbs. They each have a Benebone and are doing fine with them. My daughter's two dogs are 80lbs and 90lbs and doing ok with them. Both are chronic chewers of stolen items. We're each keeping an eye on the dogs with their bones. I believe that a bigger bone is in the works.

The small one worked really well on a 30 pound dog. It will be big on a 12 pound dog, not sure how much you can snug it up with the velcro, but you could just let it hang.

My dog is a 75 pound Ridgeback mix. The medium might be a better bet for dogs 10 to 25 pounds lighter.

My dogs are quite a bit larger than yours, at 65lbs or so. However, my sister uses this with her poodle mix and with her yorkie and both are quite small at 15 or less. The yorkie is under 10 lbs, for sure. I think the collars she has must be a smaller version, though.

My pug is 22 lbs but considered a small breed. If you had a medium size breed at that weight not so much

I have a German Shepherd/Rott/Lab mix that it works great for..! He weighs approx 125lbs and would initially jump in and out of my SUV. After he pulled a muscle doing this, I resorted to searching the web for something other than a set of steps that would be more cumbersome for me to handle. Hence, I found the OttoStep.....best thing going!! I love it and so does he..!! He was a little leery at first, but quickly picked up the concept. He does not have to jump at all. I would highly recommend it, especially for larger, older four legged friends. Hope this helps in making your decision. :)

I wouldn't like to say! We have two dogs who are small (not tiny). I'd have said you'd be OK with a cocker spaniel sized dog, and probably a smaller one rather than one like a donkey! Sorry I can't help more!

I have a 75 lb dog that looks a bit like a german shepherd. We live in an urban setting with everything from sidewalks to gravel. We use the booty to cover his bandaged paw and depending on how long he is out and how much he plays and chases the boots last between 1 and 3 outings before there are minor holes. I was looking at a Great Dane in the dog park today and comparing their feet size... I have a hard time picturing one of these fitting on a Great Dane but others have said they do.

I have a German Shepherd that is 75 pounds, a cocker spaniel that is 21 pounds and a Yorkie that is 12 pounds. I use this system to walk them at campgrounds. As you can imagine there is wildlife, people and other dogs. Lots of distractions. I walk all three at the same time. I weigh about 140 pounds. This system helps me use my weight to contain them and I can also tug on the lease if they are starting to pull. It also leaves my hands available to pick their waste. I recently added another German Shepherd to the mix and need to order another lease. I highly recommend this product. Hope this helps.

I feel that it would be tight for them. My shepherd is smaller than yours and he fits fine.
