Hi all, I just purchased the sled dog set from Daz and realized that even though I don't have the required product for the boots to work for M3 and V3 (I knew that before I purchased it, so I don't have a gripe with that) but those poor doggies are out there, pulling a sled for gosh knows how many miles.........and they don't have any booties on! I could be wrong, but.......don't dogs that do this as part of there "working" lives, have booties to protect them from the snow? (sorry, I grew up in SanFran. and have only seen snow in Tahoe/Reno and once in Alaska) Won't someone make some booties for them? (: It doesn't have to be a freebie, I just really hate to see them like that! LOL!

I just had to check out the bootie situation for Iditarod dogs...looks like some wear them and some don't.

Hi Dialyn, I wasn't able to see all the pics from the site that you posed a link to.......but.......I know, If those were my dogs........they would have booties, No matter what. THat's because, all my pets are Very "spoiled" and would not consider putting them in the snow without them. (: Of course, that is only because I Know, they exist. (:

Oh, my doggie would probably never make into the snow...she's so spoiled she'd be all cuddled up into a blanket on the sled. I'm the one who would need the booties!!! :)

Good news about the booties. :) Bella approves...because, as a Southern California dog, she likes doggies to be in style. And booties are in!

My most favorite doggie was my Cock-a-Poo, Phred. He loved walking in our Ohio snow....for about 15 minutes and then he would stop in his tracks and look at you. It was a signal that it was time to pick him up and carry him home to a nice warm blanket. He did have sensitive feet and he would have loved the boots. Diane
