Suzzy, I will leave the flossie talk to someone who uses them. I can however give you EXTENSIVE information about bully's. I will post a snippet of what I know...
BullySticks are made from penis or in some cases "ligament". Now I don't know what type of "meat" the penis would be considered -- ligament or muscle????? I'm not clear on that one -- maybe someone more knowledgeable about Bully's and/or penises can fill us in. Anyway -- some bully's are greasy and really stink PU gag a maggot type of stink. I have found that some of the pricey ones -- Red Barn, for example fall in the "stinky" category.
I have found two in particular that DO NOT STINK -- well they don't smell any worse than anything else your yorkie can chew up and get slimy.....
but this is more of a "yorkie breath" kind of stink. Hands down these are my two favorites:
1) If you only need one to try or only buy a few I would buy from Kathryn_V at BeyondSpoiled. You simply cannot beat her service, her prices are great, they are come packaged very nicely and buying from her helps to support one of our YT family members:

2) If you need a whole bunch of them -- like me -- I buy bully's by the lot of 200 -- my personal favorite is an ebay dealer eddieb260. Here is a link to one of his ebay auctions and at $59.95 with FREE shipping for 200 4" bully's it would be hard to beat his prices. The all caps message below came from eddieb260's ebay site:
