!8: Innotek Pet Fencing Sale Off

Sunday, January 1, 2012

Many families want to have a dog, but they do not want to clean up the hair shed by the canine. Others would love to have one of these pets but they are allergic to the dog hair. Though there is no such thing as a totally non-shedding dog, there are dogs that do not shed very much hair. These make the perfect pets for families that want a dog that leaves little hair behind on the floor or furniture.

The list of low-shedding dogs is very long, so we will focus on some of the most popular. The Bichon Frise is a toy breed of dog with a thick, wavy coat of hair. These canines are virtually hypoallergenic to humans, but ironically enough, they may develop their own allergies. They grow to about seven to 18 pounds and can develop quite animated personalities. They are people- friendly and not very hyperactive, but as with many toy dogs, they are sometimes not well suited for a home with small children.

Poodles are also non-shedding canines and they come in toy, miniature, and standard sizes. The miniature and standard varieties are great for homes with children. These dogs come in a variety of colors and are known for their even temper and intelligence, though the toy variety can have some behavior issues due to its small size. Toy poodles weigh about ten pounds, miniatures average 15 to 17 pounds, and standards are usually 45 to 70 pounds.

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a great family dog that grows to about 35 to 45 pounds and 18 to 20 inches in height. It is a strong, playful, happy canine that makes an ideal watchdog. At the same time, it loves children. The Wheaten Terrier is good for apartment dwellers and needs only walking or a small yard because it is usually active indoors.

The Bouvier des Flandres is a large, rugged dog, but do not let its looks fool you. This canine is very obedient, gentle, and pleasant-natured and will also be very calm as long as it is exercised regularly. Bouviers are quick learners and make good watchdogs, especially due to their 75 to 90 pound size.

The Bichon Frise, Poodle, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, and Bouvier des Flandres are several dogs that do not shed very much. Each of these canines requires regular grooming, but all of them rarely shed hair naturally. This makes them perfect for allergy sufferers and people who do not want to spend a portion of their day cleaning up dog hair.

Dogtra EF - 3000 Gold Dog Fence Review

!±8± Dogtra EF - 3000 Gold Dog Fence Review

The Dogtra brand makes a lot of training equipment for sporting dogs. They have one dog fence system called the, the EF-3000 Gold. The Dogtra is the only rechargeable in-ground system that allows you have independent correction levels for each dog, so is a good choice if your dogs are of pretty different temperament or size.

Box Contents

The Dogtra collar is a little on the chunky side and looks dated but does the job. Avoid using this on dogs over 20 lbs. The collar has been updated from the previous version to use a lithium polymer battery. It has a much better life span than the nickel metal hydride battery it replaces. We find these get you 3-4 weeks of charge and take two hours to recharge.The collar has five correction levels, and vibrates as well as beeps to warn the dog that they are too close to the boundary before giving the dog the correction. The vibration feature is great for older dogs that are hard of hearing. The correction levels are set on the collar which lets you set an custom correction level for each dog on the system. The collar comes with long and short probes and these plastic no shock training probes.

Transmitter

The transmitter on the Dogtra can do up to 40 acres. It has the basic controls - an on/off switch and a boundary width dial. There are two wire ports for the boundary wire loop. And a third wire port for you to ground it directly if there is a grounding stake nearby. Don't worry if there isn't, you can use one of the optional lightning protection modules to ground the wire using the ground connection in any three prong power socket. The system comes with the standard 500 feet of18 gauge boundary wire,50 flags and two waterproof splices.

Conclusion

This is a good system. But at this price point, I think the Innotek 4100 has it beat. The collar on the Dogtra is significantly bigger and the Dogtra doesn't have the features like the battery backup, collar fit and the indoor / outdoor pods.

There are a few situations where it has the Innotek beat. First if your dogs can't hear very well, the vibrate feature here is really useful. Second, if your dogs are very different sizes the ability to set the correction level for each dog independently on the collar make this a better choice. Third, if you need more than the 25 acres capacity on the Innotek, the 40 acre capacity on this unit make this the one to get.
