Dog Boots
Dog Boots
What kind do you own and how do you like them?
I am planning on buying boots for my Brittany for hunting in cactus country (which there is a lot of in Southern California). I see there are many different types, Rubber, Cordura, Neoprene, Tape-on, Velcro, Straps, etc… There is nothing like first hand experience, so I was wondering if you could share yours with me.
Thanks,
Hamilton

Ruffwear, new style. You need to put them on properly. Vetwrap from the back of the foot up the ankle. Then duct tape the boot on securely. Remove as soon as you are done running the dog. The new style boots have a very thick sole, and the sole has a pattern to it that grips the ground. Most boots are useless in ground cactus, the spines just go right through stuff like neoprene or thin rubber. The grip on the new style soles helps the dogs alot, flat or nongrip soles slip constantly on the ground.
All the dogs that run in the R8 and Hun Championships are booted with these boots, and these are hour championship dogs that really put alot of pressure on the boots. They work.

Re: motorcycle intertube
That was the first thing I tried. I seen the artical in PDJ. The open toe still let stickers get in. Other than that they are cheap and worked well. Not to mention Wiggles (The female on the left) chewed them off first chance she gotbasspow wrote:what about the motorcycle intertube boots. they work just fine,once you get them taped on.
