Please can anyone point me in the direction of this super cheap life saver red (has to be red) squeaky soft ball?
It’s bigger than a tennis ball, super light weight, maybe rosewood or some similar brand?
Nothing else is quite cutting it and I put it somewhere safe…
We search all the time for it, both of us.
It was perfect as I don’t want a ball to throw as I don’t want him chasing but this was so light I just nudged it round with my foot as I poo picked the fields.

So squeaky & there are paw shapes on it, & no hole to put treats inside?

🤔
Nope nothing at all. Thin seriously cheap and rubbish feeling. It was £1.50!
So crappy it’s not allowed in the house because I knew it would only last 5 seconds!
It is however the training toy of the century.

Not the same as this but one of my work colleagues bought Purdey a squeaky ball for Christmas - was just an Aldi one and I was convinced she would destroy it in seconds but she is in love with it and it’s still perfectly in one piece! Glows in the dark too which is useful when she’s left it in the garden at night 🤣 not sure if they still have them in

just checked my emails and i need to update my payment details. Normally that would have annoyed me but I've never been so grateful to have an out of date card registered. - also explains why they keep emailing saying I owe £4 for fees. I'll stop ignoring it now!

Dogs can’t see red. I only know this random fact as you don’t use red dummies with young dogs.
I can though! The grass is short I can find it where ever it is, unlike the current 2 green ones that are somewhere out there! I always use silly colour over reach boots for the same reason!

My first cocker spaniel would only retrieve something if it was red - anything else was ignored. Throw 2 identical dumbells one red, one blue and she always fetched the red one.

How strange! Bertie will play with anything of any colour, the amount of yellow and green balls lost in the field are huge though.
I don’t know if that’s significant or just that often he looses it but I can quickly locate the red one and point him off in that direction.
I knew dogs saw colour differently to us but wasn’t sure in what way.
