No I am not vesting the dogos because they cost more. As I stated they seem to handle the heat better with a vest on then most of the pits I have seen vested. Most of the dogs at that time that folks we hunted with had had to have the vest removed as soon as we killed the hog, and the dog cooled off as they were over heating. I do not know what it is but when we hunted with folks who vested their pits or bulldogs they were caught up by the brush but the DOGOs never seemed to be, BUT a bobwire fence would cause them hell. I will run my dogs as needed vest or no vest. On very humid hot nights the vests never leave the truck on a dog. Other then my curs bay vest, and I make damn sure it is wet/damp to help with the heat. As he is the only male left out of my old lines and very gritty. SO I am doing what I can to keep him alive long enough for me to get the pup(s) I want out of him. Even then he gets the vest pulled off some nights and I take the chance of getting him killed, BUT then again I run that chance no matter what when ever I drop my tailgate.
It is all personal preferance. I could care less what a person ran on their dog. If they ran a pink tootoo and it worked for them great. I just get tired of reading posts telling folks to "vest that dog" as if vests are the end all to problems.
