You don't want to feed them the smaller 'baby back' style bones, they are small and might choke your dog. Spare ribs are bigger and harder to swallow. But with all bones you need to watch your dog and make sure the bones don't splinter. Also make sure your pup doesn't try to swallow the big pieces.
Yes and no. Definitely not cooked. Raw - with meat on the bones. Smaller dogs may not have the jaw strength to chew and consume the entire bone so remove the bone if it looks like they can't eat the whole thing. Raw meaty bones are good for teeth, gums and developing the muscles around the jaws. Be careful, as too much bone can cause constipation.

Can dogs eat cooked ham hock bones?
This depends upon the dog and the pork bones involved. I'll briefly summarize the major considerations below. 1. The smaller the dog, the worse the idea of feeding bones to it. This is because bone shards can become lodged in the stomach or intestinal tract and cause lacerations of the GI tract, which are medical emergencies. Larger dogs have larger diameter tubes for the bones to pass through, reducing the risk of lacerations. 2. The more food-motivated the dog, the worse the idea of feeding bones to it. This is because dogs that practically inhale their food are at increased risk of not chewing the bone down into digestable pieces. As the bone fragments become larger when they are swallowed, the dog's risk of an intestinal laceration increases. 3. Cooked bones are generally worse that uncooked bones. This is because bones become more brittle when cooked, and therefore are more likely to shatter into sharp pieces rather than crumble when chewed. 4. Larger, knobbier bones are generally better than slim or small bones. This is because a larger bone (like a femur knuckle) is far to big for the dog to wrap its jaw around and shatter - he has to gnaw and scrape at the bone and get bone dust rather than bone shards into his mouth. Rib bones can be easily shattered in one bite, particularly by a large dog. From the above, you can draw your own conclusions about whether or not your dog can safely eat pork bones, and which pork bones you want to feed him. In the wild, wolves eat bones all the time, and a dog's digestive tract is very similar to a wolf's. In general, if you have a large pork knuckle or ham bone that you want to give your large-breed dog that takes 20 minutes to chew and eat his supper kibble, that's probably OK. I would strongly recommend not feeding leftover rib bones to your Dachshund that is affectionately called the "Amazing Doxie Vacuum" for his ability to suck down food in seconds.
