marko 30 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 its a pup and still growing why would you want to have it muscled to death at that age it will fill out naturally and put on muscle when its at the right age plenty of good grub and excercise and not over doing it let the young dog grow a bit.

Malt 379 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Give his bones a chance to stop growing first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 No point in putting muscel on a pup that has not fully developed, there is plenty of time for him to grow and the body building can wait a wee bit longer. Them there bones need to grow my friend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 As above, good food and sensible exercise and the pup will develop the muscle it needs for the life/work it does. Muscle weights a lot so you don't want any more than is needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurcher-lass 1 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 There's no need to over do it, the dog is still a pup which means its still growing, good food and some good exercise should keep the dog in reasonable shape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Muscles shouldn't be worked hard until the bones have finished growing: depending on the breeding and size of the pup from 1 year to 18 months old. That's not to say you shouldn't get it out in the field, but take it easy and use that first year as a learning curve for the pup. The muscles will develop fully once the skeleton is grown: I don't bike pups of under 12 months: just let them run about in the field chasing a few rabbits and eachother. A good hour's exercise a day, about half free running and half on the lead at a brisk walk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
