DOG TREATS

Wheat-Free Scotty Biscuits


     1 cup oatmeal

     2 tablespoons sugar
     1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine
     1/2 cup milk


Combine oatmeal, 3/4 cup of the rye flour, sugar and butter together.
Slowly add
the milk till a firm but slightly sticky dough forms. Scrape out dough onto a
wooden board or counter. Knead in the rest of the rye flour till the dough
stiffens
a little. Wrap in saran wrap and chill for one hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough till 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into
shapes ( I like to use scotty dog cutters). Place on lightly greased cookie
sheets.
Bake for 15 minutes. Turn off oven and let biscuits rest till cool in oven
with the
door closed. Store in air-tight container for up to 2 weeks. 



Cheese N Garlic Bites

Mix flour and cheese together. Add garlic powder and softened butter. Slowly
add milk till you form a stiff dough. You may not need all of the milk.
Knead on
floured board for a few minutes. 

Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes and place on ungreased cookie
sheet. Bake 350 degrees oven for 15 minutes. Let cool in oven with the door
slightly open till cold and firm. Refrigerate to keep fresh.

Bonnie's Sunshine Liver Brownies

Contributed by RosaKiana Rossi

The recipe makes a lot of brownies so keep any leftovers (should there be
any) in
the freezer because they spoil real easy. 

     3 to 3 1/2 lbs of liver, beef or chicken
     1 C whole wheat flour
     4.25 oz jar fresh minced or crushed garlic
     2 C white flour
     1/2 C corn meal
     1 med shaker of grated parmesan cheese (I don't have the oz
     measure because I tossed out the container after I made the
     brownies for last weekend's agility trial.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover cookie sheet with foil, coat with cooking
spray, sprinkle lightly with corn meal and set aside. Process liver and
garlic in
food processor or blender until it looks like milk chocolate. Pour into
large mixing
bowl and blend in the rest of the ingredients. Spread evenly onto cookie sheet
(the mixture will be thick) and sprinkle lightly with corn meal. Bake until
no pink
is left. I usually bake them for about 30 min for one pan and then turn the
oven
off but leave the brownies inside until they are cool. Cut in pieces and be
ready
to be loved by your dog(s). I have yet to meet a dog that doesn't like SLBs
and I
think that this is about the greatest bait on earth... Enjoy!!!

Newf Breakfast Bars

Contributed by Martha Taylor-Young, RNC, Dragon Rest Newfoundlands

I love this recipe because it makes a lot & it's so easy, you just throw
everything
into the bowl, mix & pat onto 2 greased cookie sheets, no rolling or cookie
cutters.
     12 c. oatmeal
     4 c. whole wheat flour
     8 eggs
     3/4 c. oil
     2/3 c. honey
     1/2 c. molasses
     2 c. milk
     1 large can solid pack pumpkin (optional)
     3 to 4 mashed bananas (optional)


Preheat oven to 325. Grease 2 cookie sheets  

Dump everything into a VERY large bowl. Mix this whole mess together (I use my
hands, AFTER I take my rings off, another story), pat onto greased cookie
sheets
& bake at 325 for 1 hour. After 1 hour turn oven off, crack oven door & allow
cookies to cool in oven. Break into whatever size you want (mine like
LARGE).  

These freeze really well. My guys love these, they sit in front of the oven
waiting.
