EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

what do ya prefer?
my catch vest is a tejas i think but the outdoor store shut down that i order from.
i am needing some light but heavy duty ones to run on gritty bay dogs.

i have tejas vest too... the good hing about them is theat you can take your dog in there and let them measure him and they can make it while you are in there.

look at the link to bottom of the page. they have a 3 layer KEVlar that weighs only one pound. can't get any lighter or touher than that.

I just tried to call your office i left a message could you call me 4792160096

uglydog dont worry about my last post just got off the phone with you

I know this is confusing, but I am not the dog supply folks anymore  ???

Cody - aka BlackGold on here is the dog/hunting supply owner, and you may have spoken to Patsy over there too, Sorry to be confusing! Goodluck, I know you will be happy with the quality of the products.

We run Razorback vests pictured below,

Here are a few of our top-of-the-line vests.  At Ugly Dog Ranch tons of time, research, and money have gone into developing vests that offer your dog the highest level of cut protection on the market.  Our DEVASTATOR and GUARDIAN cut vests do just that.  Sure...we offer more economy type vests like many of the other brands, but no matter who makes them there is only so much protection you can get from 3 or 4 layers of cordura or nylon......
DONT be fooled by other brands who are pushing nothing more than a glorified bay vest as an adequate cut vest.  YOUR DOG deserves more than that!  At Ugly Dog Ranch we strive for unmatched protection and I guarantee that there is no vest on the market today that can come close to the protection level of our DEVASTATOR or GUARDIAN.  You may think that is a bold or cocky statement, but I take dog safety very seriously......I'm protecting my dogs as well as yours.   Our goal is to have your catch dogs die from old age and not from the tusk of a boar.....

black gold thanks for your reply i really like your vests which would you prefer on an agressive baydog that has to cover alot of ground

We are selling a lot of the medium Boar Bibs to guys with gritty bay dogs that put some miles under their feet each hunt.....I would really need to know more of how you define "agressive bay dog" to determine whether a bib will give enough protection of if a vest is necessary.....We can make a DEVASTATOR short to where it ends 3-4" behind the leg holes and it would weigh less than a pound and still give all areas covered kevlar protection......

depending on how rough the hog is you can get there with a catch dog but the hog will sometimes be caught or the dogs will be cut up from trying to catch

does the guardian restrick the dog from movin his head around.  i like the protection it gives but it looks like the dog could not move that well.  i have never owened one so idk but i would like to hear how the dog can move im thinking about getting one.

They way the GUARDIAN is put together allows for natural range of motion.  We are selling these vests like hot cakes and have had great response from our customers thus-far.

Yeah I trying to figure out which kind of vest to get for my pit

Hogslayer, I would go with the Guardian for a walk in pit. It has much more protection if he ever grabs the nose, and it will help alot with brusing. The Devastator is very thin and will not keep your dog from getting brused if he takes alot of shots. Both are really cut resistant and good vests. JMO This is a video of the Devastator in action. Never had one single cut through on any of my Devastator's. The outside will cut but the Kevlar stays in tack.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzsvgMcUxiU

 my pit was on a hog in the bay pen this weekend his first time to be on a hog in a year but he caught on the nose and that is were i am trying to figure out what vest is better

Those jaw plates in the Guardian will save you alot of cuts on a dog like that. If he cuts the ligaments in his jaw he isn't going to be a very good catch dog after that. You can stop all cuts but it will help.

k thanks and would i need a cut collar with that perticular vest

While we're on the subject... I've also wondered about these vests with the cut collar built in... (Devistator)

They have to restrict motion? Are yall also running a cut collar with that vest?  I like the looks of the Devastator(the Kevlar, light one I think).  That will be my next vest purchase.

I run a cut collar under the vest and put the top stap of the vest through the D ring to keep the collar and vest from getting any gaps in them a dog could get cut through. The Guardian does not need a cut collar at all. It is made like a Ozzie breast plate and everything is one solid piece. If your dog has a short neck you dont need a collar on the Devastator. All mine have long necks so I run a cut collar.

Good  info L3, thanks!

so between the guardian and the devastator which one do you think would pretect my pit the most

Guardian. It just better suits the pits. My pits are the only dogs I have trouble with cuts, because they will let a hog beat on them and not move out of the way.

yeah mine to his mom and dad were both good dogs and both of them caught on the ears is there any advise to get him off the nose and to the ears

I HAVE TWO CADAHULA BAY DOGS WHAT KIND OF CUT VEST WOULD U ADVISE ME TO SPEND MY MONEY ON!!!

a bay vest or 1/2 vest is good if your going to run vest on bay dogs     http://www.uglydogranch.org/udrshop/index.php?cPath=1
