Dogs and vests

We own some of the bay vest and we also own some of the strike vests which are longer. I would say that they definately help prevent vet bills but they are no guarantee that your dog isnt going to get hurt or isnt going to get killed.

I believe if you are going to run vests then you have to start them in it, we have one that has worn his since he started and he doesnt know the difference...the others refuse to hunt with them on and most of the time they are with out them. The only one who is always vested is the CD except on a rare occasion.

We have had some serious vet bills in the last year and a half but I think you owe it to them if you expect them to hunt and catch; it is part of it.
