HOW HARD DO YOU WORK EM?

[stormrider8 59]

Thanks for the positive comments guys, my dog walks an 18 hole golf course every morning and every night and is on the finest diet known to me (BARF WITH MY ADDED EXTRAS).

 

What i meant by how hard do you run them, was meant in an athletic point of veiw.

 

I beleive like us humans dogs need rest as much as work and although when fit i like to be out 5 nights a week some weeks, it cant be good can it???

 

Im running my boy hard on the lure at the moment to get him in the best shape possable for the up and coming season (his first real season) and was wondering how often you guys run your dogs.

 

I see how people are different and some care for there dogs whilst others see them as mearly a tool, with little respect for them and would be happy running there dogs into the ground, but for me my dogs are my best friends

Every dog i have had has been different mate. I have kept all at the same level of fitness by the same method for years. Some you can lamp nearly every night without burning them out and others look stiff and tired after 3 or 4 hard nights. Its all about knowing your dog and its limits.

Well it was refreshing clicking onto this thread tonight, as last night i was a bit gutted at the responces i had recieved TBH. kinda uppsetting when you see pricks representing somthing so special.

 

Ive enjoyed the posts, thanks for your time.

 

I agree all dogs are different and to be honest i had only ever owned staffs and pitts before getting hold of my pup bull/grey (wished ide have had one years ago) hes a great dog, very racy for a 5/8 3/8 which im glad of really, in reality a 3/4 1/4 would have sufficed, so it turned out really well.

 

Ive always kept my dogs as athletes so its been a pleasant surprise to see how much drive and tenacity my boy has and he can take some serious work before he lags. I will post some pics of him in the week and would value your opinions (well some lol)

 

Any how thanks for the possitive posts, and for you guys who really had nothing decent to say, i leave you with this thought. Keep your mouth shut and let people think your a fool, instead of opening it and removing all doubt.

With the up and coming season almost upon us, ive been traing my Bull/grey harder on the lure machine.

 

This got me thinking, how often and how hard do you guys run your dogs during season and how much rest are you giving them.

I must get some more road working in with mine, its all on grass at the moment.

 

I like swimming if they have an injury, got a mate with hydro therapy pool, really good.

 

What benefits do you see from the road walk mate, tougher pads etc? someone said it gets them up on there toes but i couldnt see that happening myself as IMO weak pasterns will always be that way as its hereditary
