Brigzy 1,298 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 There should NEVER be a time when a wet dog is put in a kennel. It only takes a minute to towel a dog. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackmaggie 3,376 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 i agree brigzy but the amount of times lads have put there dogs straight out the motor in to a run with a bit of grub and think thats it job done must be alot pure laziness yet they will walk field after field for one run 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigzy 1,298 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) No matter how tired you are, it takes only a minute or two to check the dog for cuts and scrapes, clean it's feet, dry it off, the dog has put its shift in, why should it go into its kennel wet, when you go in to a cup of tea and a hot bath ? For someone as experienced as Skycat to say they "often" put their dogs to bed wet, is baffling to say the least. I assume she made a mistake. Summer or winter, a wet dog will stil suffer if kennelled after a hard day or nights graft if it isn't dryed off. Edited December 17, 2014 by Brigzy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackmaggie 3,376 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 skycats very knowledgeable and loves her dogs no doubt about that must of been a mistake but i have disagreed with her a couple of times about foxes but she is a good sort at heart 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geordieh 74 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 My dogs get sprayed with the hosepipe twice a day when it is hot to cool down and go in their kennels wet been doing it for over thirty years if it is warm enough it is not a problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackmaggie 3,376 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 big difference between sat round in summer and running hard in a cold wet winter night 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I can't believe people are still arguing about putting wet dogs in kennels. As I said before, common sense should tell you not to put a wet dog in a kennel in winter or other cold weather, but in the summer, yes, when it's red hot and the dogs are panting like steam trains, I take mine down to the lakes for a swim, then home again, and they go into their outdoor kennels which are full of straw. They are dry within half an hour and very grateful to be wet and cooled down even if they do dry out fast in the heat again. In the winter, even after exercise and not real hard work, they never go into a kennel still wet unless it's just their feet that are wet, and then only for half an hour to dry off before coming back in the house. Yeah, my dogs are really neglected Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,672 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ahhhhh you're gonna get well done skycat I always give my dogs a good kicking after a hard nights graft. The fear shaking they do afterwards soon gets all the moisture out of their coats 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
