It definitely was not what I expected. It is a huge red plastic ball that my GSD can’t get her mouth around. I ordered the 6 in ball in red. It’s plastic which is disappointing, it’s very noisy when she’s playing “hockey” with it which is very obnoxious. My GSD played with it for 10 minutes when she first got it and has ignored it since. I don’t recommend this product basically because it is plastic
