Wow, I thought I was an expert on marrow bones, but I am far outmatched by Barry! This was a very good informative post, thanks for all the information! I especially like the idea of saving them in a big box and then bringing it out as a surprise.
One question for you -

I have a hundred pound Rottweiler who will crunch a T-bone or Porterhouse bone into five pieces with a single bite and them swallow them whole, but he's never cracked a marrow bone. They are the safest bone you can give a dog.

Are these cooked steak bones? I actually give my dogs cooked beef bones on occasion but I think it might be wrong. They have never had a problem but I have heard many horror stories here and elsewhere that the cooked beef bones will often splinter and can do serious damage to your dog's insides. But then I have also heard from a minority of people that cooked beef bones (never poultry) are okay.
