Taping Dogs Toes Up Before They Run ???

[Qbgrey 4,090]

Vet told me to get bootd for mine. About 4o quid I believe.

[Stud dog 632]

WTF next I know lads that have taped dew claws up but toes if the dogs hurt its feet rest it if you tape a dogs feet up you will inder it in its ability to turn correctly an stop properly just my thoughts on this others will disagree iam sure

Humans run with shoes on and horses do to so why can't people believe that the right kind of boot could help a dog rather than hinder them...

I think the only way them or any other boot would stay on a dog that can run at 30mph plus chasing game through wet mud and doing tight turns.would be to super glueing them on.

They obviously don't fit the dogs foot like a second skin that ie a latex glove would.theres going to be a fit of slack in them at least.

But they obviously will protect a dogs feet on Flint.

But the question I would ask myself are they worn by greyhounds on the track ?

why would greyhounds need them to run on sand lol i been out in all weather with the lad. They seem to stay on no issues.never seen him adjust them when out????? I think if you run flint or have a dog with feet probs i think there a no brainer really

I'm on the phone so can't type out much so here's a link would the boots offer protection for any of these foot injurys or do they just protect the pads. http://www.mikeguilliard.co.uk/id15.html

Know a lad who applies that realtree nail varnish before he runs his bitch

 

What does the bitch wear?

Lingerie

I won't be putting no boots shoes our tape on my dogs feet you crack on if you want to use them

Having recently had experience of running the heavy flint ground...... No dog will go through a couple of nights without getting gashed! If boots meant you could run regular and not have dog knocked up..... Why wouldn't you?

My bitch cut her stopper about 2 months ago so went to the vet and got it removed she tried to stich it up a bit cos it was a open wound. The other nite I took her out on the lamp because the wound had heald on the third run it split open again. Anyone have any idea if this will ever heal or is her days numberd.

Yes greyhounds have foot injuries but greyhounds and lurchers hunting is two different things. In greyhound racing a couple of tenths of a second could mean the difference between first and last. If we are talking about effects to this kind of performance yes maybe boots might slow them down. But in terms of a lurcher chasing its quarry its marginal. Also reason you dont see boots is every grey that get raced ment to get checked over. Max might have more info on that. Foot injuries might bar you from entering your grey to a race. So if they bared cos of there feet you wont see them on the track with boots. Could just be one reason on top of a small time lapse to why they dont use them. Couldnt tell you about other injury protection??? Only know they protect pad and stuff on things like flint

[king 11,972]

As the dog makes a high speed turn the toes will splay a bit and I would of thought will give the dog more grip traction.

[Ideation 8,216]

It's all just theory until you actually try though isn't it?

[paulsmithy83 567]

I imagine Mr Lloyd would have put booties on rather than breed a type with solid feet if they were of any use. Can you see a dogs cornering at speed wearing booties?

Joe i might sound to be harping on abit on this thread but my mate uses the boots to good use on the flint. If it can put big ears to bed in daylight i'd say they can corner well wesring them lol funny as when he stuck them on his i laughed my head off. He had last laugh as my bitch cut all her pad and stoppers so had to be put away. He could carry on hunting.

[paulsmithy83 567]

I couldn't believe the state of some fields down south, but the guys that stay there and invited us out manage, and that's without booties

alot of guys manage there mate. I still run it without. But then i do get more lay ups
