This section is for businesses who sell pet products that I have personally purchased and recommend to buy from. I will continue to add as I try new items for our dogs.
www.fluffntuff.com
This company makes durable stuffed pet toys that, for most dogs, are un-destructable. My dogs love them and would normally de-stuff and de-squeak a stuffed toy within 5 minutes. However, for whatever reason, my dogs LOVE these. We now own approx 15 different "Fluff n Tuff" stuffed animals. I wash them in the washer every week to 2 weeks and put them in the dryer. They come out clean and are holding up really well. Our oldest is Edsel the Elephant. The only damage he has is a tear in his tail. All of the others are in perfect shape and my dogs have not attempted to destroy them. Highly recommend these toys. They may not hold up for extreme destructive chewers. They are worth the price! Buy direct from the company at their website.

"We don't claim to be indestructible - no plush toy can be - our goal is to simply combine superior quality materials with proven construction specifications to create the most durable plush toy on the market today" Jambolou Dobermans - "These are the best stuffed toys I have ever bought. My dogs normally have stuffed animals de-squeaked and un-stuffed within minutes. I purchased several of the Fluff and Tuff Stuffies and my dogs love them! I have had them for months and the dogs havent killed them yet! I highly recommend!"

Article by The Dog Place on the history of cropping and docking of dogs.
ezinearticles.com/?Ear-Cropping-Laws-in-the-State-of-Pennsylvania&id=2434427
The basis of the law states that any dog owner must be able to prove that the ear cropping and tails and dew claw removal were done by a veterinarian. So, if you're walking down the street and an humane society officer or animal cruelty officer sees your Doberman or Boxer with cropped ears and docked tails, you can be given a summary offense, unless you have a certificate that states a vet did the work... but what if you have a rescue or a dog with no documentation... then what???
