mike, im sure you've heard this a million times, but clifford is an awesome looking dog. he ever been cut up seriously? looks like he doesnt have a mark on him, id love to see that dog catch one day.
Yes sir, I almost lost him one night on a bad hog that killed Matt's dogo. It was touch and go for a few days. He has severely over heated on me a few times and I never wore a vest on him when it was hot. His whole chest is nothing but scar tissue... hard to see with his coloring. He's fixing to be six years old in a few months and has caught a bunch of hogs in his time.
We were talking about this today with Cody. If you ever see the Australian dogs in action, they all wear chest plates... not vests. The dogs stand so tall that the hog is always hooking upwards into their chests... this explains why Clifford only gets hit there.
His old vest is trashed... chest full of holes. I had a 3/4 length kevlar vest custom made for him earlier this year that is light enough to wear year round.
