I think in fairness to mick . No one said early on not to brush into the quick,  but away from them . What a brush can do that a soft cloth can't in that scenario,  I don't know.  I've known men to pick under the skin with a needle to loosen dirt . But imo the quick gets irreparable damage

Don and I said we use a soft toothbrush to clean the dogs nails;  nothing more, nothing less.

mC said he doesn’t use a brush. Fine, that’s his choice, but why make a big deal of it ?

I’m sure Don, Penny and I have been around long enough to know how to clean our dogs feet.

Ive been doing it for almost 60 years and never had a problem.

Cheers.

The dog in talking about had mail beds like foreskins haha so the brush was needed tk get it out, I don’t care what anybody says it cut for the infections by about 80% compared to jist soaking the feet, we was out 5/6 nights a week mate, selling everythin we lamped, few lads on here saw the dog an bags we had, we done what we needed to to get results an if just a soak would have worked we would have done that haha we needed the dog as part of the team so we done what was needed to keep him on his feet haha 

For any one that  can read  

Talking cleaning nails is a non starter aint it I could use sandpaper wouldn't matter the thread was about sore nail.beds infection if  you think a brush will help that rather then Cause or make it worse  we think different

You seem to be taking umbrage to my post charts . I was merely offering my opinion and my experience.  Albeit 45 year of experience of running all sorts of soil and clay . As you will attest to , different soil and of course temperatures dictate the severity of nail bed injuries not to mention dog breeds . Again,  you'd be far more knowledgeable than me with far more experience of deerhounds and their mixes . Lurchers and saluki hybrids being my thing . Once again,  no offence intended whilst offering my opinion.  It's all our opinions that keep this site going.  Yours in sport Drover

No mate, I’m not taking umbrage. I just think the thread got out of control.

mC had just said cleaning a dogs nails with a brush can cause infection , I think the opposite, cleaning a dogs nails in warm soapy water or a dilution of some disinfectant or antiseptic with a soft tooth brush, in my mind, helps to PREVENT infection.

I wonder how many lads actually wash the dogs feet, give them a brush down, check for injuries after a day or nights work ?

What I DO take umbrage at is when someone talks to me like I’m an amateur or beginner.

If someone has different methods to me, that’s fine, I’ve travelled the world seeing how other people work their dogs and I wouldn’t be so egotistical as to tell them they are doing it wrong and I know better.

Im all for light hearted banter, but I know when the lines been crossed. That’s when I drop out of the conversation.

Ive always had you down as one of the good guys, and people I know speak well of you.

Cheers.

Thankyou kind sir . I learned a long time back that this dog game is all about opinions and egos . I don't take myself so seriously as to be easily offended.  Been keeping dogs for 45 years . Never took time out nor changed tactics . There's a young lad on here I've offered advice and guidance.  It's nice to think you try and do right by people.  Unfortunately there's a high percentage that are just crabbers.  I keep a very small circle of acquaintances and that works best for me . And as my auld da always said . Respect your elders . I tip my cap charts

Clay can be bad and sandy Clay aswell it's worst I'd say when water logged pushes them beds back 

 

Your out 3 plus times a week soak and rub about with my fingers is the most ill do around beds you aggrevate it you have that niggle all season 

If you soak your hand and the used a  tooth brush on  your nail beds 3 time a week they would be sore aye after a month  lol

And if beds are irrated just do's  what that book said peroxide will get the muck out 

It's all opinions as you say mate 

I'll run the arse off them this season no issues I'll stick to what I know
