Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Little bit of info. I know a lad who shows masstaff(spelling), this guy has some of the best dogs in Ireland, I was at his kennels some time ago and he has rubber mats for the dogs to lay down on, he finds the spot where the dogs dont spoil and that where the mats go, might help, but then again I could be talking bollix.
