He's definately taken it as close as anyone should dare. May have even crossed the line to inbreeding. I think it could go either way that close. You might get what you want or it could go bad.

I've made a quick one out of duct tape for a NSTRA trial after using super glue to seal up a cut in the pad. Worked excellent and didn't slow the dog down one bit. I would take it off and check it after every brace. Then redo it right before your brace.
