I've been trying to get proper meaty bones for Skye. Most of our local butchers are useless, when you ask for bones they look at you as though your mad; "Y'know, bones. Those things that stop animals flopping around in the field" It seems most butchers get their meat pre-boned. Fortunately our local farmers market is now supplying me with as many as we want. Unfortunately our back garden now looks like a family of serial killers resides here.

After seeing some previous discomfort from feeding raw bones from deer. I haven't been much for giving dogs bones of any type.
Mylo had the jaw strength of Godzilla. He totally had the largest leg bone off a deer (femur?) gone in less then 15 minutes, and yes they are perfectly capable of splintering, and if they consume to much can very easily cause impacted bowels.
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.
