Outawear For Adventure-loving Pooches

Accessories for dogs usually conjure up images of toy breeds stuffed into pink handbags

or bling collars and doggy nail varnish - certainly nothing your average working Labrador or springer spaniel would like to be seen in. These dogs and their owners may prefer a more adventure-fuelled lifestyle, wading through rivers and exploring forests rather than strutting their perfectly coiffured self down the local high street.

Whilst a series of colour co-ordinated accessories may seem a little over-the-top for such countryside loving dogs and their owners, there are some pieces of outawear that can be really handy. Dubbed 'ruffwear' by pet lovers, this type of dogwear is ideal for animals that enjoy swimming, foraging and other muddy persuits. From float jackets to portable food and water bowls, ruffwear covers everything a disconcerting pooch needs. The British weather isn't known for its long balmy evenings so even if your dog resides in a town, a high visibility waterproof jacket or a clip on safety light can be ideal for locating your pet in a busy park, as well as making him more visible to motorists and cyclists should your dog decide to partake in some more 'off piste' activities.

Easy on leashes and training toys are also ideal for dogs that like some action. You don't want to spend ages faffing with a collar and lead when you're in the middle of a field and nor do you want fluffy or easily destroyable toys to train your dog with. More outdoor friendly toys include balls, rubber tug toys and retrieval devices - the latter being highly important if your dog is from a working background.

So dog accessories are not all about the kitsch and pink, more rugged accessories to enhance your dogs walking experience and make him safer are ideal for those that enjoy exploring.
