Thanks for you useful informations about the booksand the big bones , I also study and try to collect all documentaries concerning wolves and hybrids.

Your information about the barf-fed dogs died from big leg bones is already self-explained. I also do not feed my big dogs with big leg bones (such as cow or lamb) but only for puppies younger than 8-9 months just for their chewing pleasure , teeth- cleaning ,and jaw exercise....after maels. 

Big bones are dangerous for big dogs because they have very strong jaws and teeth-sets(molars) which can break the hardest bones  , just enough size for them to swallow through their big throat , but still too large to go through their digestive systems and cause serious pierced intestines. 

This also depends on the individual eating-habit of each dog. Some of my big dogs would just have their good times enjoy chewing and licking  aroung without breaking or swollowing . I give them sawn leg bones(about 3"- 4" in length) , so that they can lick the bone marrow from the inside.

BARF feeders must be well aware of the fact  that way of BARF we feed our pets can never be a whole-natural condition . The best way is trying to get most useful informations as possible to ensure the safty of what we feed to our beloved pets. This is one of the best infos. for us ...BARF feeders . Hope to hear more from you on this topic.

Thanks again for the information about the books and website of Dr. Micheal W. Fox.

  I agree, you must use common sense when feeding BARF.  My adult dogs get raw chicken with bones, whole raw fish and raw turkey necks and wings, but not other raw bones.  I do use large smoked cow bones for them to clean their teeth with.  But I only buy them from one person that very slow smokes all his products, in 14 years of using his bones I've never had one splinter.  Even my most powerful chewers grind them down slowly.

I'm getting a few more books by Dr. Fox, this time about his studies with wolves.  I'm sure they also have very good information.

Pingpong enjoys chasing and playing with  dead-pretend  mouse,   but seems never  like eating  this kind of BARF, not to mention the fur and hair.

The mouse was trapped on the ceiling under the roof  to provent them from biting the electric cable ,setting fire to the house ,and to let pingpong return back to jungle instinct.
