I hope people shed some light for you
Hello Kathy,

I too have 2 Germans, and yes I give them RAW bones from the butcher shop. I never boil them. And their teeth are very frightening!! (check out the funny pic in my photo album! hehe!) However, I see them as bodyguards for me and my lil one! They can puncture basketballs with those K9's!! Very scary!! I don't know about giving these bones, even partial pieces to Destiny. What if she cracks a tooth? All her baby ones haven't even fallen out!! She looks like jaws! And THAT'S frightening because vet says they will have to be pulled and soon!

So what's the consensus?? I'm not sure what to do?!?!?!?
