Well shows me and my big mouth, my dog was taken across a field of plough like jagged concrete and will now be laid up for 2/3 weeks due to cut pads and nails................

its a hard one this. you cant run your dog at the start of the season because the ground where you are is to hard. your waiting for the rain to soften it up to get out there then before you know it winter is here and if we have a bad un the ground is going to be like concrete

knocked up toes are bad enough but a dog taking a tumble on rock hard ground is another thing, i will wait untill the ground is runnable becaus my dog will give it all wheather its hard or soft ground.

[slips 114]

seems like im doing it all wrong mines out trotting and lead walking waiting the ground to come right

Haha. I honestly cant understand you lot. you spend all summer waiting for the season to start then when it does start your on here moaning about the ground conditions. Youll run em on rock hard stubbles but as soon as they have been raked over you are moaning.

Get yer fcukin dogs out and get em worked. after all, thats what they are there for. atb stabba

only eejits run the hell out of dogs on hard ground , i look at the dogs as tools so i look after them annd only take them to places i knows fine , my dogs have feet like souplates and dont knock up much infact not had broken toe etc for years apart from the greyhound whippet i had, if im out to kkep them fit take them on the roasideds ru ning to keep the fit and through stunbbles were the game is scarce

Keep running dogs on baked hard rutted ground, and you will get injuries, minor ones like grazed stoppers and bruised nail beds, to straight forward breaks, fractures.......

 

I would rather wait,Its to much of a gamble for me....No patience fucks dogs up...its a shame......

 

What kind of dick, whould run a dog on hard ground all year and says it OK? When all you have to do is what a bit?

alot of guys i meet dont no ground hard from soft but i m going tell youse i go to new mexico for 2 to3 weeks a year always dry and they run all winter on the land , they keep 5 or 6 dogs cause at least once a year they get lame i keep 3 dogs in there prime and ones on the backward peddle so i always have a replacment, but realy no need to run on brick hard ground ,but never had a toe injury in yrs witht he big strong saluk crosses or the old collie type , but i must admit they never run hard once it gets hard, run qaurrys hard stubble rolled barley feilds some times on a walk only flushing roe odd rabb , never hares bigger chases with more pressure on them for what $4 quid hare not that silly ,hares will get flushed come winter when its knocked back to winter wheat and the odd stubble left or rape,for sport,if YOUR DOGS BEEN WORKED HARD AND BRED [bANNED TEXT] THEY SOON LEARN WHAT THE GROUNDS LIKE , a good poaching cur if out all th etime soon learns whats what believe me , mind you ive had some that there lucky they have good feet or they would be vet bills buts thtas dogs for you ,get them out young let them learn and they soon no whats what or they dont last and not there , but there aint no prizes for running adog hard on concrete ground
