Online I saw a video of a cute way to cut them. The guy was a classic-looking cowboy cook, making them at the back of his chuck wagon. Can't remember where I saw it. He used a simple empty tin can to cut a circle shape. Then he used the same can to cut two elipses from the circle, one from the left side and one from the right, for the smaller dogs. The larger hourglass-shaped center that was left after that, was just the right size for the bigger dogs. They were quietly sitting there, courteous and hopeful, watching him make them at the back of his chuck wagon. So if I didn't have a dogbone cookie cutter, or didn't have the right size, I could use a clean can from whichever canned food has the right diameter... soup, beans, whatever! Dogs won't care about the shape, they follow their noses.
