springer in the hide... :) my springers first season, its impossible to keep him out of the water and mud, shivering, shaking and generally trying to sit on my lap, Im wondering how this is going to work when it gets cold ! does anyone use a coat for their dogs or do i need to man up and accept the beast..... if a coat what works best ?

I have a spaniel that comes with me. I use a jack pike camo neoprene jacket on her. Keeps her toasty. Build quality on the jacket has been OK. Zip is starting to part from the jacket though. A wee tweak of the design could fix this. As it stands you zip the dog in then fold a velcro flap over the zip. As the dog runs the velco pulls apart and puts max strain on the zip and stitching. A popper at the neck end of the zip would solve this. Other than that its been good.

I made my own alterations to the waterproof jacket that I use to eliminate this problem.

 

If your dog is a wildfowling dog use a neoprene jacket whilst you are out shooting then one of those snuggly cotton thingies to wrap the dog in afterwards.

 

You must look after your dog. He can't do these things for himself.
