I hear more about mouth troubles with the small and toybreeds, because it's hard for them to chew things properly with the way their mouths are shaped (Especially dogs like Pugs, Lhasa's, Bostons, and Shih Tzu's) The larger dogs don't have this trouble because their faces aren't smushed, so the chew toy has "Somewhere to go" as their mouths are more like tunnels rather than...manhole covers. lol - Jackie Marcato Shepherds Where it's about function, not flash ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
