I only run cut gear on my cd, I used to run an ugly dog cut collar, I really liked it but I wish they made one that is five inches, and maybe one with a chin flap. When I first started him I used full cut gear from ugly dog and it was good, never had any problems with cuts goin through it. I ran a bay vest on my dogo also. I liked the open leg holes and how light it was.
After that I got a breast plate made my L3. I liked it alot and nothin had a chance to go through that thing, but it was really stiff and never loosened up. It still allowed my dogo to run really well in it though, almost worked like a shell the he moved inside of lol. Gave that to my cousin and he likes it alot.
Now im running a duncans breast plate. I like it for the most part. Been on some bad boars with it and nothin comes close to goin through it. Its made of seatbelt. I dont like how close the leg holes come up behind the back legs, blocks a little bit of movement but nothing like a full vest. I really like the attached cut collar, chin flap, and how flexible it is.
This is when the duncan was brand new
