The training school we have been taking our pup to has Kuranda dog beds in their arena, and my dog loved it, so I figured she'd be very happy to have one of her own. She also loves to chew her other beds up, but this one is virtually chew-proof, especially because the fabric slides into a slot in the frame vs wrapping around the frame; it makes it almost impossible to get ahold of anything to chew on. I guess she could chew on the PVC frame (she hasn't even tried), but it is very heavy duty, so even if she did, it would just leave marks and not destroy it. I also like that you are able to buy specific parts from Kuranda in the event something breaks. Come summer (and camping season), the woven fabric will help keep her cool, as air can circulate, and it will be very easy to spray off with a hose to clean it. We've had it a couple of months now and it still looks brand new!
