Working livestock with dogs has been around longer than anyone on this board has been alive. They made do without all the technology we have today, now times are different don't get me wrong, but technology does have me spoiled. If anything make sure the dog has a nameplate with some numbers on it. As far as a garmin, if you can't afford, you can't, some things take priority over this sport.
As for a cut collar and vest, that's for my bulldogs. I have a pretty gritty dog and he still doesn't get a cut collar. Like I said he will learn sooner or later, and it better be sooner if he wants to see later
. If I have to run a cut collar and a vest on my dogs, it looks like I needa be in the market for some new dogs. Besides everyone knows cur dogs weren't meant to wear no cut collars or vests. Ha ha j/k
