@lustopher No ! they will gum them if they can't chew and it all helps with teething.
Sterilized bone

Maybe if he has the bone he'll stop tearing up his toys. Okay, or maybe not…:D

Buddy figures that if he destroys his toys that I'll have to buy new ones and that's his contribution to keep the economy going.

LOL!!! Anything to keep someone in a job…Someone has to make them, someone has to haul them and someone has to sell them. Good job, Buddy!

Otis leaves the stuffing alone..our dachshund Gus does not and once it is opened Otis is all over it..
I give Otis raw shank bones and yes over time he will chip it, but that is weeks of chewing on it..I per my trainer got them all some pressed rawhide bones to chew in their crates while supervised…7 minutes it took Otis to chew of pieces large enough to choke him..so no more supervised quiet time in their crates..no more rawhide bones that is. -

I bought him a santa hat too. We'll see if I can get him to wear it for 2 seconds while a snap one. Camera battery is recharging. Yodel ho ho ho!
-
He's gnawing on it now and then looses interest then goes back to it.
That's what my B does as well. He's got 4 of them laying around. He'll sit down with one of them every now and then and gnaw on it for awhile.
I've got the Dentleys one also. Haven't noticed any pieces chipping off, but they do slowly wear down a bit over the years.

ohh can't wait to see that pic..Otis is frazzled right now..our tree is up and it is in his way..lol.

Yep, this one is tougher than the other one. I remember now having a sterilized bone for my last 2 Basenjis and it sat around the house for years. They barely chewed on it. They loved those rawhide chews. I had to take it away when it got down to 3" other wise when it got down to a 1/2 to 1" gooey mess they would want to swallow it.

B-mamma: As long as the boys don't treat that tree like a fireplug, you're doing well.

Somebody has to water it.
Oh boy are we off topic. From sterilized bones to peeing on Christmas trees. Happy Holidays!:D

Sorry, Mr. Nobarkus….couldn't resist. I really must learn how to behave myself.

No, no let's keep going and see what other topics we can create out of this sterilized thread.:D

Well, you brought up humanizing with this:

But I wasn't going to say anything….:D
(Charge, camera, charge!)

No I'm Santatizing him.
-
Doesn't he have to go to a Santatarium for that?

Yes, it's in Santa Fe.
-
Wow! All the way in New Mexico? They don't have one in Santa Ana? Or Santa Rosa?
-
"Maybe he just has powerful jaws as he destroyed a new $17 toy that is made pretty rough and tough."
You have to realize that makers of those indestructable toys have never tried them out first on basenjis.
