Which is the best Pooper Scooper?

If you have a large dog, the large DogBuddy pooper scooper is the one for you because it holds jumbo-sized bags.
For a smaller to medium size dog you may be better off with a DogBuddy because the small size is a little bigger. (Depends on the size dog you have)
DogBuddy backs their products with a manufacturer guarantee, (replace or refund) which speaks to the quality of the product.
If your bottom line is budget, then MonPtit is a cheaper option that gets the job done.
