ok  ty Dewi.  I am not all that clued up on football.  I am buying one for my dog tommorow, but didn't know what size to get.  I will probably just get it from Argos and didn't know the correct size as you can't see them before buying

Sark,
Does he have to get a full size one, how big is he?

Have you bought shin gurds and boots too?

Size 5 is too big for a dog.

You should buy him a skills ball (size3) or a junior ball (size 4)

He is a fine football talent.  I normally use tennis balls, but the other day he stole a full size football off a couple of Kids playing in the park. He dribbled the ball half way across the park along with my other dog.  He really loved playing with the big ball.

I eventually got the ball back, but I am terrible at football and he used his fancy tricks to keep the ball away from me. It had alot of chew marks in in after the kids got it back.

I was worried in case I ended up buying one of those tiny little footballs by accident.  That's why I wanted to know the size of a full size one.

no, I have not got him shin guards and boots yet.   One of my dogs gets frustrated by the others football talent, he trys to tail bite and then looks all inocent when I tell him that isn't in the rules. I have to use strategic throwing to give him a chance. He is the Vinnie Jones of the footballing dog world

If size 5 is a full-size ball then that is an idea size. I will let some air out of of it and allow him to get his teeth on it.
