MINI NEWS!!! Pre-Order Today at OKIE DOG SUPPLY!

Re: MINI NEWS!!! Pre-Order Today at OKIE DOG SUPPLY!
The mini dog device (mini TT 15 and mini T 5) for the Garmin Alpha and Garmin Astro are really pretty amazing. There's a ton of info and already some of it's not correct, here are some facts:
1) Range is so far, pretty good in thick brush and somewhat hilly terrain (we are in OK in the NE section so we have some rolling hills and with the rain/floods, we have an explosion of underbrush). On average, we are getting 2.5 - 3.10 miles. I would realistically expect 2miles and anything over is bonus. Range is based on line of sight. The maximum range is 4 miles on the minis, 9 miles on the standard (big) dog devices.
2) You do NOT have to buy a new Alpha or Astro bundle...the handhelds did not change (other than a software update to add a mini but you can do that in your pj's in front of a computer). If you have an existing Alpha or Astro system, you can keep the standard TT 5 or TT 15 if you have a bigger dog, then just add a mini TT 15 or mini T 5 as you need it. I personally am keeping my standard (big) TT 15 for my bigger beagles. But, I'm adding 3 or 4 minis for my 13" and under 13" beagles.
3) The minis do not have a 1" collar. They have a 3/4" collar strap. Check out the pics on the website: http://www.okiedogsupply.com You will see my dogs wearing the product. The one on the 4wheeler is a 6 1/2" tall (at the shoulder) Otis gyp (she never grew), Belle. You can see that she is wearing the mini T 5 and you can't hardly see the part under her neck. That's not photo-shopped...the unit is just small!
4) The 'ears' on the side (where the strap goes through) are beefy. In a good way. Most of us have had the ears on an EXP break and a beagler told us about fixing it with 2-part epoxy and picture hanging wire. It worked! But, I don't think you could easily break the new mini 'ears.' They are beefed up (wider) and I've noticed it has helped shed debris to a point. I've not had a dog run a stick through it yet like I used to have with my EXP.
5) The Mini TT 15 is a track/train dog device. It will work with on an Alpha system with a TT 10, TT 15, or T 5 dog device, and it will cross to an Astro 320 (320 only) and work with a DC-40, DC-50, or T 5. I'm listing older devices like the TT 10 and DC 40/DC 50 because some of us have older dog devices like that and you don't have to get rid of them...it's all compatible.
6) The Mini T 5 is a track only dog device. It will work with on an Alpha system with a TT 10, TT 15, or T 5 dog device, and it will cross to an Astro 320 (320 only) and work with a DC-40, DC-50, or T 5. I'm listing older devices like the TT 10 and DC 40/DC 50 because some of us have older dog devices like that and you don't have to get rid of them...it's all compatible.
7) The minis are NOT available right now. The news is public, the pictures are online, but, the product hasn't shipped to ANY dealer yet. Expected timeline is the 3rd week of August. Pre-orders are recommended so you can reserve one for the first wave of product that comes in...but, not a single dealer has them in stock yet. We hope they arrive sooner than the 3rd week of August but, as of yesterday, the timing looks to be approximately the 3rd week of August for actual product to ship to dealers.
We just want you to have the facts. We appreciate your support and we will continue to help answer any questions. Gotta get some dogs running...already 78' with 100% humidity. It'll be a short run this morning.
