I have to admit that leather is durable, but if you get it you have to make sure its great quality. But be warned the dogs claws could rip it in places through jumping up.

We have just got rid of our leather lounge and replaced it with a thick fabric that is tougher than the leather was. I have to admit Im in love with the new lounge a lot more than I was with the leather lounge. If you get fabric, make sure you get it protected with the spray stuff. Also with leather would be a great idea if you have a rug or something where the dog is only allowed to be on, so you can stop its claws from digging in.
