The elusive EV bumpers

One of the toughest things I've found while gearing up for EV practice sessions is finding genuine EV bumpers.  The EV bumpers in competition are a nice foam material and have strings on both ends for hanging, but in all the sporting goods and pet supply stores I've been in all I can find are the stiff, bumpy vinyl bumpers with only one string (if any)! Argh!

I hopped on the DockDogs forum last night and found a lead I'll be following up on tomorrow: model #DDR1 is as close to an official DockDogs EV/SR bumper as one can find and it can be ordered directly from Dokken by calling (507)744-2616.  Bumpers are about $7 each and are not listed online.

Paws crossed that the bumpers are in stock and ship quickly!

Edited to add:

I called Dokken today and the bumpers were in stock and their customer service is great!  Two will fit in a flat rate envelope, 3 may, but if not will only cost a few dollars more, bringing shipping to somewhere between $5-$7.  I'm expecting to get them Wednesday or Thursday!
