running weight

[luke 2]

i think 8 eggs will do more harm than good could be wrong

i was thinking more along the lines of a couple slice

of toast nice and light before a hunt

quater pound of meat 7 hours before they run or scrambled egg or 100 gram of rice

everyone to there own but ive never heard of anyone feeding there dog an hour before graft i used to do it when i raced greyhounds to slow them up and when they came of they were f#cked

[mickystaf 1]

i was under the opinion that a dog should never be fed an hour befor running a dog

8 eggs? You being serious? I know eggs digest alot fast than other foods, but there is no way that is good for the dog. For starters, protein posioning over a long period. Not only that, there in no way 8 eggs are getting absorbed into the body within an hour. Then it takes about 12 hours for a dogs body to break dog protiens completely, so the dog isn't gaining any nutrition until after working.Whist working its body is heavily saturated in unusable nutrients and the body has to work overtime breaking them down into something useful, aswell as running too. Its like when you have a big meal and go tierd, becase your body is focusing its efforts into breaking down the nutrients. A dogs digestive system is slower than ours too. From start to finish usually taking about 24 hours. I think you should reconsidor your feeding methods for the dogs sake.

i try and keep my dogs at a certain weight in my opinion

you should just see the pin bones and no more.i have seen

quite a few dogs down to the bare bones that maybe run one

good race and thats them burned out i think thats down to

a lack of body fat ie you cant run on a empty tank .i feed

3 quarters meat to a quarter biscuit when there running hard

and lay them of when the weight drops a bit what do you all think

CORRECT MATE YOU NEED A BIT OF WAIT ON THE DOG TO BURN OF AND BUILD INTO MUSCLE HERS MY PUP 13 MONTH

Anyone thought about feeding there dogs more animal fat than usual when there working them hard?Im sure dogs burn fat for energy like we would burn carbs.
