forest of dean redneck 11,181 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 What socks isn't telling us that his name on here says it all ..... he actually has invented special socks for his dogs and they now have feet of iron. It's not his dogs that get the cuts it's socks himself that suffers (only playing before it gets taken the wrong way) Fukc sake I haven't got the patent secured for that invention yet ... the chinks will be onto this now doing it for half the price ...... Now there's a thought the mushers in north USA/Canada have canine socks for their racing sled dogs? Quote Link to post

king 11,663 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Lol every single field around me looks like that ... the dogs have to get used to it from pups mate ......I would imagine the dogs feet would harden up to that type of ground especially from a pup.Maybe similar to a blacksmiths hands and an offfic worker.

Saltmoon 2,208 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Lol every single field around me looks like that ... the dogs have to get used to it from pups mate ...... Be interesting to put your dogs next to someone who's dogs run soil and see just how hard your dogs pads are compared. The dogs that run hard ground must end up with alot tougher pads. Mine will be running soil fields and maybe the odd one or 2 may be a bit rougher ground so I'd say he will have softer pads. Like calluses on hands site workers rough as rats (so the missus says) and office dollys soft as muck. I might be wrong but would dogs pads work that way as well? Quote Link to post

It's common sense really that dogs that run on real rough ground from pups are going to have shorter nails and tougher pads ....... 1 Quote Link to post

Tyla 3,179 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I ran my bitch their a few times and everything she got cut. Your dogs pads must be like chain mail socks. Now I take my bushers and let someone else bring the lurcher Quote Link to post
