welshgirl09 1 Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks stabba to be honest I would rather give him to someone who was going to give him the time and effort he deserves than see him stuck in a kennel that would be so much potential wasted Quote Link to post
border lad 1,047 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 If you are able to walk him, one hour in the morning, and the same at night, you will find his feet will come up and also his muscles and body tone will improve greatly, and also the person who is walking him, there fitness will improve greatly, I would imagine his toe nails would need cutting, also, after you have done all that, you will have a fine looking dog on your hands and you wont want to part with him, in all 6 weeks training, and he will look a total different dog,((( good food, and exercise, Help to make, a good dog, Quote Link to post
