HI BOYS....I HAVE A QUESTION: HOW WAS THE FLOOR OF THE PIT IN THE OLD DAYS? IT WAS CARPET?
Canvas
why carpet or canvas and not the earth?
it absorbs shock, a dogs head slapped against the earth could lose a tooth etc.

Silly or not i have the right to ask whatever i want. ..i haven't offend anyone. ...i find curious that carpet is what people común use and don't other thing. .. Could be a lot of material. ... and dirt won't kill a dog. .. You clean the wound after the show and that's it. .. Not the end of the world either.
I don't see how its a silly question , hunting dogs, digging terriers work in earth and dirt, no big deal.
eneas, I think the biggest problem with a dirt floor is infection. If you are a person who knows how to prevent infection, then use dirt if you want to. Personally, I have seen people just put their dogs back up after just rinsing them off with a hose. That, in my opinion, is the WRONG answer. A person will take a good shower after sweating but yet just hose a dog off after a roll. I think the problem with dirt is probably traction and infection. Just me though.
Actually, infected dirt can kill a dog.
Look up Enterococcus faecium or Enterococcus faecalis ...
Sounds like you have zero pit experience to me to be asking these questions.
Carpet also affords traction ...

I agree Jack who the hell wants their dog rolling around in the dirt? Yis Ole Man
