Hi...

Have you considered having an ID chip inserted under its skin? This can be read to provide info on who owns it, etc., in the event your dogs becomes lost, strayed or stolen...??

There are also dog's cold weather coats, boots, and tusk-resistant protection, for examples.

check out cabelas. they have a huge selection.

I don't use any of the "special things" that seem to be all the rage these days but I usually only work with labs not high-strung German Short-hairs. I'm sure a lot of guys on here will tell you that a shock-collar is a must. Not really necessary for any ordinary lab (but I have seen a few that were incredibly hard-headed). However, I can't criticize its use for dogs like GSPs because I have never trained one and only hunted over them a couple of times briefly. For walking any dog, but particularly a GSP, use a compression collar (with the spikes). Doesn't hurt them but makes it a real pleasure to handle dogs that are inclined to "go" and strain the leash. The traditional choke collar is a thing of the past. They are dangerous and ineffective. For every day, get the dog a good heavy nylon collar with a break away snap connector. You can find both types of collars at any pet store. Also at most big chain pet stores you can pick up a rivet on name plate that is customized with your name etc. right on the premises. Several outfits on line also supply these. To make the holes in the collar for mounting these tags clamp a medium sized finishing nail in a pair of vice grip pliers, turn up a cooking range burner till it gets red hot, hold the tip of the nail on the burner till it's good and hot, then pierce the holes in nylon collar.

Have to agree Cabela's has a ton of stuff for hunting dogs.
