Hi I am getting a labrador (working strain) puppy next week. Can anyone give any recommendations for toys/chews. Thank you.

All puppies love a plastic pop bottle (remove the top) to play with; they make a very exciting noise when chewed and are big enough (especially the 4 pint milk bottles) to wrestle with. And of course they cost nothing and are easily replaced!

Nylabone - be careful to remove it once it gets too 'chewed'. 

I'm one for plastic bottles too.

I give them plastic bottles too, in fact I use lots of rubbish for pups Any toilet roll tube or box that is about to be recycled gets given to pup first, with a treat hidden inside. Fold the ends of the toilet roll tube in, shut the box up and let them destroy it.

Great advice. Thanks.

Old socks stuffed with any material and tied up. Just watch that they dint swallow anything. 
FYI don't use anything made from rawhide it's such a dangerous product. Big choking hazard
Zoolus and many others do natural chews which are safe. 
Anco roots  coffee roots, fallow deer antlers. They are softer than other antlers .
Stuffed kongs especially frozen can keep puppy busy for a while
I've also used frozen knotted tea towels to sooth sore gums when teething

Whenever I'm finished with a cardboard egggbox I stick a few bits of kibble in each hole, close it up and give it to my dog.  Takes him a while to get it open, then he destroys the box!

Love the suggestions. Thanks.

Empty yogurt pots are popular with my littlies too

..... leaving you to clear up all the little pieces? 

1st and 3rd shepherds learned the word 'trash it!' 2nd never really got the idea and Shep hasn't got a clue
It was actually a big help when we had bigger cardboard boxes to get rid of as the pieces took a lot less space in the bin plus the benefit of keeping other stuff safe as they only did it after being given the word

A friend has always given her dogs a small plastic bottle containing about a dozen pieces of kibble. It seems to occupy them for quite a while, spinning or shaking the bottle to get the pieces out. Sadly, my girl didn't have a clue how to go about this. She would chew the neck of the bottle thinking that would release the treats. I give her a snuffle mat with kitten sized pieces pushed right down but it doesn't take long for her to find them all.

A top tip - don't get squeaky toys for a gundog puppy; these just encourage them to bite hard and that's definitely not what you want! (In fact, only if you have a puppy who's destined to be vermin control, such as a ratter, should be given squeaky toys to encourage them to bite.)

Interesting point jeangenie. I don't give squeakies just because they drive me mad !
