New Breast Plate

I originally ran a full length ugly dog cut vest when my dogo was learning the ropes. At two years old I switched to a breast plate made by Josh white. Both held up equally and have had both vest/plate put through hell. Honestly been very lucky... Only serious cut he has had was on his shoulder on a bad boar when he wasn't wearin a vest. Anyways, been a year runnin josh's plate. On durability I would say they are equal, on movement the plate had the advantage, on coverage vest had the advantage, speed of dog the plate has the advantage, heat the plate has the advantage. Example, my Dog had trouble loadin up in my 1 ton on 35's in the vest, in the plate he had no problem. On joshed style of plate that I was running it wasn't exactly flexible even though it did let him move more freely. It fit more ad a shell or "plate" around my dogs chest and shoulders. I will say I wouldn't run a plate on a smaller cd like a small pit due to the length of their body, I would rather run a plate than just a cut collar though. A plate is better suited for a dog with some length and some leg, somethin made to run. If you are just sendin your dogs to the bay from a short distance a plate is not suited for your needs although they can work, not what they were designed for though.
I just bought a new Duncan plate, Josh sent it to me a few days ago. figured I would upgrade to the same style but something more flexible. It got to my house this week but I been out of town. I'll get it tomorrow and get some pictures to compare the two plates. I will also let y'all know how it holds up after some bad boars also!
