Yes, you need to be careful with larger bones from weight-bearing animals.

Personally, most of my dogs get their bones from edible bones (i.e. ground up in patties or poultry like turkey/chicken backs and necks or carcasses - poultry are not weight-bearing animals, so their bones are softer and are safe for the dog to consume).
