"Pizzles"

My daughter remembers clearly the day I found her examining one of these in our local pet shop; she was about 13 at the time and was horrified when I told her what it was she was handling. Funnily enough she only mentioned it a couple of days ago.

The ones that aren't big enough to be used as dog chews...

They probably do...

Don't they throw anything away?! Suppose we should be glad they don't put them in sausages.

Lol! Yes, rosesarered . I have looked it up. Falstaff said it to Prince Henry in Henry IV part 1 , Act 2, scene 4. (amongst other insults!)

Bellasnana are you sure Shakespeare used this as an insult?Most men would love this.

As long as your dear dog does not take it into her head to have a go at any living ones soutra. Avoid fields with bullocks.

And if I remember correctly, Shakespeare used the expression ' you bull's pizzle' as an insult!

It's an old English word for penis.

I had bought these some years ago and my dogs loved them but the pong was more than I could stand so never bought them again.
