French Linen tug toys are ideal for more experienced dogs with a well developed grip that can handle a tug that is slightly more abrasive and harder to hold on to than sheep skin. French linen tugs are more durable than sheepskin tug toys, give you better control of the tug with harder playing dogs, don't pick up as much dirt and slime as sheepskin tugs, are easier to clean, and can be thrown farther than sheepskin when playing fetch.
