Hey Kev
If you read a lot of the posts from many people who are introduced to the RAW diet... we have all been absolutely "terrified" of feeding the bones.. I remember giving my dogs their first chicken back an dI literally held my breath until they swallowed and waited to see if they were "ok" and guess wht ... they were ;)

It really is nerve wracking - especially as rotties often take three bites and down it goes, but if you get hold of a copy of "Give your dog a bone" it really helps you understand the dogs digestive system and you begin to realize that we are worrying for nothing.. my dogs eat chicken backs, chicken necks, brisket bones, rib bones, port neck bones, (preferably give them non-weight bearing bones) they are softer and less likely to splinter. I love giving them brisket bones because they can just "grind them down to nothing.

Go for it... also remember feeding the bone is important - as the dogs get their calcium from the bones...

Good luck...
