Bird Dog Boots?

Recommended Posts

In a couple weeks my young pup will be joining me for the first time for some scouting trips in the desert - just tagging along in cactus country. U guys with bird dogs use protective booties for ur dogs and if so what do u recommend?

Never used them before. I wouldn't bring a young dog around a bunch or cactus and cholla yet. It's not just their feet but the rest of their body affected. No reason for it.

I agree about not taking your young dog around cholla yet.

 

I will add that boots really don't help protect against cactus in fact they can make them worse.

This method works pretty good and its what I started doing toward the end of last season. Boots are expensive and get worn out or thrown off too often in the desert.
