Bear says: Put your dukes up, yorkie...what's a texas yorkie know about 20 below zero weather? Bear looks fluffy, but he's a toughy! :biggrin: There really is no secret..they will either get used to them or they won't..I have 4 dogs and only one will wear the boots..the others will sit down & try to chew them off..or run like crazy and try to throw them off...People who race sled dogs in tough conditions,where the dogs need foot protection, start them very very young with the boots...My little yorkie is sitting in my lap as I read this. When I enlarged the photo, he turned up to me and said.... "what a wuss"! Well, he didn't actually say it but I know he thought it!.
My wife made him some little boots a few years ago and he wouldn't take two steps in them, what's the secret?
Bet we could set you up with a "person pair" We wear mukluks made in Ely, Minnesota..they are made from Moose hide..I can walk to 20 below zero or so and have toasty feet..They are terrific..light as air and even at 20 below I don't wear socks..the mukluks are supple and feel like walking in bare feet...if you need mukluks of this type google: mukluks Ely Mn...they are pricey, but no other boot beats 'em..If you can't find on google, let me know and I'll try to find info for you
Thank you George..I bet that it is their official website...it is a small business in a little town; they make footwear for dog sledders..antartic explorers etc..I've had my pair for 15 yrs or so and walk hundreds of miles in subzero conditions each year..they are the best I have ever worn...
