Dave-G Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Not that I'm likely to take our little papillon onto stubble, he's not a working dog but having seen a few images of larger dogs on stubble I'm just curious as to if its likely to harm their pads or between their toes?

henry d Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yes on dry rape stubble, neoprene boots can be used, but I tended not to as my dogs hated them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Rape stubble will be awful for such a little dog and with barley check throughly between its toes as it can be like treading on small needles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 That dry rape stubble is lethal to man and dog. When it runs up your ankle it makes you dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rott in drag, brilliant little dog. 1 minute ago, la bala said: That dry rape stubble is lethal to man and dog. When it runs up your ankle it makes you dance. Yes, nasty stuff indeed. Only once did I foolishly let my vszla pick a pigeon in that stuff and later that evening wondered why he was licking and found a puncture wound, right alongside his 'working parts' not serious but could have been an eye. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennett Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Straw stubble is unlikely to do much damage, it folds up without too much pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old lab was snuffing and sneezing one evening after we had been a walk round mid summer and I had a look up his nostrils. Wifes tweezers retrieved about an inch and half of wheat stubble, so be aware anyway. It was one of those times that my training my puppies to let me do anything to them, investigate their most intimate parts without getting bit paid off as old Muffin was seriously distressed.

That must be very rewarding, ours doesn't much like being being picked at unless fresh out of a bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
