i agree. beef bones shouldn't really be given to yorkies. some recreational bones are refered to as "wreck" bones on some chat groups because they can break teeth. beef bones are generally too tough on teeth. i had one and let morgan play with it for a while but then took it away after reading more about them. Chicken and turkey necks are better (make sure chicken necks aren't too small to swallow) and chicken drumsticks, breasts, and backs are good for meals. morgan is getting a chicken drumstick in a few minutes for dinner.
yum. always make sure they are not cooked because they can splinter.
