are all Allium edible?

Best guess: it varies with the dog and the breed-- My dog seems to enjoy 
garlic in small quantities as garlic powder, or our food cooked with onions. 
And as with ALL poisons, dosage is a critical consideration.  Arsenic in 
small quantities used to be used to make rosy cheeks for women back in the 
1800s--and whether or not ingestion of it over time was deleterious is not 
much recorded.
