Jolly Egg Herding Dog Toy
An egg-shaped ball that rolls and bounces unpredictably, giving a herding breed's chase instinct something legitimate to lock onto instead of ankles.

Our take
A solid, erratically rolling egg shape that mimics the unpredictable movement a herding breed is wired to chase, which is the point: a cattle dog or kelpie with no legitimate moving target to lock onto will often find one in a child's ankles or a jogger's heels instead. Roll or kick it across the yard and let the dog chase, nip and herd it the way its instinct wants to work, then put it away as the dedicated outlet rather than a toy left out to chew. It floats and is made from a tough rubber that holds up to real use, but it is a play tool, not a chew toy for a dog that likes to settle in and gnaw.
