She does like big marrow bones and I find that if, after use, I stuff them with treats and cheap meat paste from the supermarket, (the sort of stuff we in Britian got fed in sandwiches as kids)this works very well.

On this one, I would have to say that it depends on the dog. The Australian Shepherd we had in our llama-ranching days would play with his thrift store stuffed animals for weeks or months. But the Basenji we had would destroy any stuffed animal in under an hour, and make a huge mess. Luckily, she never *ate* the body parts, but I didn't let her have one unless I was home.
