I agree, I go to a park near my house where people often take their dogs and unleash them, there is plenty of open grass but the street is right there. People are always telling me to let him loose so he can play with their dogs and I never do!! I explain to them about the breed and they look at me weird. They don't get it, I wish there were parks here with fenced areas for dogs but there aren't any, he is only off leash when I go to someones house that has a fenced yard, like my moms or my brothers house, but these are small yards not really big open areas, but I know that it's just too dangerous,a and the thing is that because of that I have not been able to practice recall with him in a an open area. only in small areas or in my apartment.
Can anyone attest to wholesale bully sticks / antlers??

@JoT:
I get the super thick, braided 12 inch bullies. They last about 10-15 minutes. And I have 6 Bs.
I don't use the braided ones, they really are thin ones just braided together. If you get the 12" Jumbo ones, I think you will see a difference. Mine will go throught the braided ones in less than 1/2 hour

I just bought Oakley a 50pack of bully sticks from the website pat suggested. Oakley get "sticks" now and they have rawhide in them, he loves them but I notice they upset his stomach but it keeps him happy and busy for point two seconds. I bought him a bully stick once as I read here it's te suggested alternative to rawhide but of course it was smelly and expensive. I also notice he got possessive over it… At any rate I think this is better for health and his safety and will keep him occupied longer. I may just have to work with him on not getting overbearing. Thanks for this link guys, got me motivated!

Rawhide is not good for dogs. It can swell up in their stomachs and cause problems. Bully sticks are great as are the moo tubes. They may smell and be expensive but they will last way longer and are a lot better for your dog. I don't trust pig ears anymore either as there were cases reported of salmonella with them. I stick to the bully sticks, moo tubes and antlers now.

I absolutely agree with this !!
And tanza, thank you for the link. I have ordered a 100 pack of the 12". It says that the braided are 3 regular combined and shaped together. But, they only have 6" braided. I'm looking forward to trying the "standard" 12 ". Thank you for the link and recommendation.!

Bully sticks and those hollow stuffed bones (favorite is chicken) for this B. He had his first antler the other day and loved it, lasts a longg time too! Problem is that he had some blood in his stool the next morning and I think the antler was the cause of it.

I marked it. Have never fed them but need something since I have a hard time finding treats here that don't come from China that the guys like. I am waiting on a shipment of Salmon Ears (salmon skin dried ). http://www.salmonears.com/

Just to be clear, these are the ones I order. Have done both the odor free and regular ones. These are the 12" JUMBO bully sticks

Hmmm, It looked like those Salmon Skins would ship to Canada but unless you have a PayPal account they won't take your credit card and ship to Canada. I really wanted to try some of those….oh well.
