Cactus Avoidance

[Bonnie_Springer]

I have a seven-month-old Springer Spaniel and this will be the first season for both of us. My question is that we will be hunting in South Dakota and there is quite a bit of cactus on the ground. Do you do anything special for dogs that hunt near a lot of cactus or do we simply pack pliers and hope for the best?

Boot’em up, especially front feet. It will make a world of difference. Use tire tubes. There’s a great video on YouTube with Dr. Dale Rollins and another gentleman. They go step by step. Don’t mess around with boots you can buy, tire tubes are superior and way cheaper.

Thank you!

Welcome. They work great here in NM where prickly pear are abundant. The dogs will get used to them fast. It will save you and dog a lot of grief. Good luck
