We've had Bear for nearly 2 months now. At first she was a little snarly (no teeth & no snapping) when she had any kind of toy or object in her mouth.
She now drops toys & objects pretty well. She'll drop a toy well before she'll drop a pair of socks :D
So yesterday I was at the bulk barn & picked up a couple cooked meat ribs for her to see how she was with those, before I spent a lot of money on the larger bones.
I told the guys to leave her a lone for a bit & then slowly walk around & see what she does. Of course I was the only one that needed to go into the kitchen :P I stepped over her & she looked at me & went back to chewing her bone. I did that a few times & she really didn't care. So I then touched her with my foot as stepping over her & still no reaction. Then I started petting her head & she stopped chewing to get a good head scratch. Later on Chad called her & she gave him her bone, so YAY shes great with bones :D
I cannot wait to get her several GIANT cow leg bones from my grandfather's store (heheh I get everything for free there). My grandfather & uncles love dogs, esp. rottweilers, so I know she'll be spoiled rotten with bones.... I get them raw & cook them at home. My uncles always leave WAY too much meat on the bones, so I'll have to trip the meat off, or just not feed her that day, as there will be that much meat on 1 bone lol.
I'm so excited, cause the bones will help keep her teeth clean & healthy! + she'll have more to do during the day when we're at work.
