I know the shell can be hard on a lot of stuff and seen some nasty cuts. What do you do when hunting with dogs on the coast? Do they wear boots like in west texas?

I've got boots for mine but they look hilarious trying to run with them. One of these days I'll dress them up like a clown and put the boots on and take video. One dog will wear the boots ok, the other they always end up floating after retrieving. We just avoid the shell areas now, the pad cuts are really nasty and it's not worth it.

Definitely use boots and tape them on so they do not come off. Had to end a hunt and get to an emergency clinic quick after lab cut her foot. Honestly thought she wasn’t going to make it with the amount blood loss after the boat ride and ride to the vet. A night at the vet and she pulled through. I will say boots are cheap compared to the vet bill and having to leave a decoy spread out in the marsh.
