Boar bib for a strike dog??

I've gone thru a couple of bibs so here are my thoughts....

1. The regular bib is not stout enough IMO. Had one and it looked like swiss cheese in no time. Holes and cuts all thru it.

2. Had one made with 2 layers of kevlar added to it and it was much more adequate with very little weight gain. Only got one small poke thru on it. I think the kevlar added $20-$25 to the price tag.

3. It works great for catchy dogs because most of the damage they take in is in the chest and neck area, or at least that's the way it is with mine. Rough dogs are more sporadic and take more random hits so the bib is a little less effective.

4. If it fits properly it should have little effect on the dogs mobilty and speed. I ran it on a dog that was a fine strike dog and he would get out and go with a bib on.

5. I sold the dog because I wanted to move away from the rough stuff and as part of the sale I made sure the bib went with the dog. There's little doubt the bib has extened that dogs life.

6. For guys that don't run vest on the CD's during the summer this would be a great alternative to just a cut collar.

That's my 2 cents
