little booties too.. none slip ones

Wot! no canine crocs?
And the sign behind is ALMOST suitable edited.
except it's spelled *aid

[madness]

The little non slip booties are around £60, believe it or not! I wouldn't buy them or the panniers.

[rigor]

Funnily enough we sell very similar stuff on our store. Snowpaw Store (www.snowpawstore.com) The "panniers" (Dog backpacks) pictured there is one of the top brands (we hoping to stock them soon). It's also massively to big for the "dog" pictured as it would put too much pressure on their spine.

We use similar boots (not £60 ones though) when racing on icy or stony surfaces to save the dogs paws.

Hey, Rigor
Ever race up this way - we're near Dalby, so see Beta? events from time to time.
Heard a few years ago that an event in Norfolk was abandoned because of snow.
That would be like cancelling the Elephant!

[rigor]

Dalby is too far north for us soft suverners ;) Although we were up at Aviemore in January. There are events around your area though.

It's possible that an event was canceled due to snow. Most of the running in this country is done on three-wheeled rigs rather than sleds, so more than a couple of inches of snow renders them unsafe. People with sleds available will still have raced, just not "officially" if that makes sense :)

[punyXpress]

Just pi$$ing about, Rigor.
Isn't Aviemore even further north than here, though?
The Norfolk event was cancelled due to problems with access due to snow, but it did bring a smile to my face.
Hows about the Iditarod, then?

My lad works at Cotswold Outdoor and they sell doggie panniers. They are trained to size and adjust to fit correctly.

I would have thought a Donkey would be better, they can carry a lot more!

Ppl keep saying my dog is a donkey :(

I've considered getting one for my dog. They enjoy working, and this is a good way to excercise them and stimulate their brains.

But they're not working while sat in it, observing surroundings is hardly work, not on most working dogs' levels anyway!

Was this a shameless plug set up by you and Quiff? ;)

Just re-use your oxford panniers, be fine...if you have Ophics dog :D

[Samnooshka]

Lupo loved wearing his backpack :D Mina is just starting her training in it... she has to carry 30% of her body weight over 30 miles (15 day 1, camp overnight and 15 mile day 2) to get her working titles :) Lucien will be doing his when he is old enough too :D

I never got a picture of Lupo in his :(

Wait a minute... you thought it was something to strap the dog to the bike? :mrgreen:

[SoulKiss]

Sheer genius Falc! :)

Just remember that the tankbag is useless tho - dogs are not very magnetic :)

[SoulKiss]

Cool - this one even has cup-holders :)
