andy198712 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 My 2 yr old male Viz gets a bit cold when hes not running around constantly. What are people using for a coat to keep them warm? neoprime ect? anyone got one that fits the Viz body well? mines at top of breed standard height wise and 25kg so lean.

Paul T Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I use a Hotterdog fleece jumper bought off Evilbay on my Viz. They fit really well on a bigger viz like mine - got it 2 years old now and still very serviceable. He has it on on cold evenings when he's sat out in the barn with me or just back in the car after a shoot. It was about £25 so I'm guessing it was a large size - just double check your dog's measurements though. They are expensive, but worth it.

WGD Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 If its not for working then get an Equafleece, they can pretty much make to order I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snyper Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hotterdog and Equafleece are made by the same people, ones just cheaper (cheaper quality) than the other. I use a Muddypaws coat and will get him a SwedishDesign coat when he's fully grown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab10 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 if you mean a vest your dog can work in look at avery or rivers west now do them aswell . plenty on ebay or you will get even more choice shipping in your own from cabelas . tidepool wildfowling would be your best bet for one in the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxus77 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 i looked at the Hotterdog and Equafleece at crufts and thought they were both pretty poor quality in terms of the fleece material for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 i looked at the Hotterdog and Equafleece at crufts and thought they were both pretty poor quality in terms of the fleece material for the price I don't think it's having a dense fleece to keep the dog warm that helps, the fleece has to wick water from the dogs coat to the outside of the fleece. I have had a handful of Equafleeces for a few years and the quality seems fine in terms of them holding together and they seem to do the job for the dogs.

Canis Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 op- Equafleece all the way. made in england from polartec fleece, they size in inches for an exact fit and will wick moisture from a wet dog. i looked at the Hotterdog and Equafleece at crufts and thought they were both pretty poor quality in terms of the fleece material for the price Where you looking at the correct product ? the equafleece products are made from polar tec fleece and well cut and sewn . my dog has one that is 4 years old , is well worn, has been through the washing machine many time and is still going strong !

andy198712 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 sounds interesting! wonder if its easier to make my own then...? any one tried that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnarr Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 For wildfowling I use either Cabela's neoprene or Rivers West vests which are perfect for water retrieves,they also offer chest protection for the dog when crossing fences. Rivers West vest is the best fit I have found for HPRs, the Cabela's vest took a lot of alteration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I dont wild fowl, mostly game shoot and the dogs are always on the go, they generate a lot of heat so never felt it necessary to have a coat for them, though if sitting in a hide i could see the benefit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
