What are/were your puppy's favorite toys?

[SABoxerfan]

We've had Sweet Pea for three days now (she's 8 weeks old), and I'd like to work on her toy selection. We have a couple of kongs, and have been stuffing them with kibble, but she ignores kibble if it's in her crate and doesn't seem much interested in the kongs. I also got a couple of nylabones (one smooth, one bumpy), and she'll chew those for about 30 seconds.
Any opinions on bouda bones? Sweet Pea is VERY attracted to cloth (like towels and socks) as well as the fringe on my oriental rug. I'd like to give her an opportunity to pull and tear something, but don't want to give her anything like old clothing, for obvious reasons. I heard/read somewhere that bouda bones can be unsafe, but am not sure whether that's a myth or a true danger.
I'd like to know what toys you other boxer owners use(d) that you think are safe for a new puppy.
Thanks!

tysons first toy was a piece of a t-shirt. I brought him to a soccer game and needed something to distract him, its still one of his favorites. He also likes anything that makes noise. I loves emply water bottls and to crunch them all day long.

as far as safe, I think it depends on the dog. I let my boys play with socks that dont have a match...BUT they aren't the type of dog that tries to eat them, they just want to carry them around and wrestle them, and play tug-o-war. I think you just need to watch your dog when he plays and pack sure he's not trying to eat his toys.

Sandy loves ropes and squeak toys. She loves to sit and bite the squeaker when you are watching tv or something. Napoleon loves balls...any size.
He will play with them for hours and don't even need anybody to throw it for him, he tosses it himself.

Calla likes stuffed animals with sqeaky things in them, tennis balls, and empty plastic drink bottles. I give her bones so that she can chew them (when she is in her crate), but if she wants to play with me, we play with a tennis ball. She has about 7 different stuffed animals and I give her socks also if it is missing its match.

Monty has a favorite chewie and a little stuffed birdie. She also likes ice cubes, its cute to watch her paw at them, and chase them around the kitchen.

Yep--forgot about the ice cubes! Those are a must!!

Tess has this squeaky shoe from PetCo that she LOVES. It was the cheapest and first toy I bought her. The squeaker died about a month ago (thank God), but she will still root around her toy box amongst a million toys and come out with the non-squeaky shoe. I bought her another one that is identical, but she still likes the first one best. Go figure!

She also loves the teaser ball made by Jolly Ball. She will play with it for hours.

Mine LOVE ropes. We have a ton of them. Also Good annd Bad Cuz's, tennis balls, frisbees, nylabones, all things squeaky...
One thing that doesn't have a chance in our house is plush toys. I bought them one for the first time in almost a year the other day...ripped in 10 mintues flat. Stuffing everywhere!!!

My puppy is 12 weeks old and is just now showing interest in the kongs and nylabones and every other toy we'd thought he'd like. Before, it was always stuffed animals or old towels!

I bought Pimp ALOT of toys. His first one was a leopard print cloth bone w a sqeeker. But his favorite to this day is a golf ball. I was worried about him choking on it but it is too big for him. He doesn't like tennis balls too much though. I think he likes the golf ball because the sounds it makes on the tiles floor because of the grooves on the ball
