Thanks a lot! I checked vids - it is pretty cool and idea of armor for boardogs is brilliant and seems to be obvious - after you've seen it. Not sure if my dogs would be able to hunt like that though. They catch and choke the beast, not like catch and hold it till hunter arrives to finish it. And to choke the boar...do not know) 1 Quote Link to post

Olesia Che 25 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 So it looks like it is mainly English-speaking countries (UK, Ireland, US, Australia) + Czech Republic and Slovakia and Lebanon. I wonder why it is not like that in other countries. At least in EU. Is it cos it is for protecting wildlife? But hunting with guns is not banned in same countries where hunting with dogs is banned. There should be some logic behind it, right? Quote Link to post
