Chrissmith0881 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Just wondered do you guys give your dogs bones ie marrow bones or is there a chance it will make them hard mouthed for retrieving game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonychez Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Mine get bones all the time. Ive not noticed them being hard mouthed at all. I think its a myth but I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian g Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 It's fine to give raw bones but marrow bones are actually the worsed ones to give there to hard and can damage or wear teeth ribs spines lambs heads chicken carcasses anything like that is fine just don't give weight bearing bones leg bones they splinter and can cause internal damaged some people don't feed pork bones but a lot do that's personal choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hard mouth is not created by feeding marrow bones. in deed I have seen dogs that occasionally eat game and they are not classed as hard mouthed either (just hungry LOL) , credit the dog with knowing what it is retrieving is edible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
