As an aside - I like Bullies for Wylie who is a super aggressive chewer, but I actually like Steers for Marcel who is 3lbs and has a very tiny mouth, for whatever that's worth.

I don't know if they are steer or genuine bullies?...I buy 6 " Merricks, when my little boutique has them, but they're really expensive, almost $5 each, and just (?) bully sticks from the holistic kennel, not far from me...I pay $3 a piece for 12" and $1.50 for 6"...They're in big baskets, so I'm sure they buy them in major bulk...Because of the reputation of the kennel, and trusting the owner, I'm sure they're from a reputable company, but I'll see if I can find out who today...The "kids" are going through a 6" stick, each, every 2 days, and they're having them a couple of hrs. in the a.m. and a couple of hrs. in the p.m. or therabouts (that's the less expensive ones)...However, I do take them away from them when they're about 2" long...What brand do you buy?
