Just my two cents. I started out with custom vests made out of leather that looked more like a breast plate over the shoulders. Then I moved on to what ever was on the market at the time, and they all worked well with some added beaf. Tryed several Kevlar and its good stuff, but always left the dogs brused and sore after several hogs in a day. Now I am using short vests that only cover the neck and shoulders. After studying several hours of film of my dogs on hogs, and looking at past vests. I determined that the most hit part on my dogs is the front shoulders and chest. I found very few if any cuts on the rear part of the vests. I fell that the added mobility in the waist of the dog is far more importent than protection of the guts. Some things that I will not hunt WITHOUT are shoulder and leg flaps, jaw flaps, and one piece vest and collar.
