plough , stubble , rough grass land , heather etc ground

Plough is OK if it isn't rock hard: round here we have clay which sticks like glue when its wet and is concrete hard when its dry: horrible. I just don't run on it when its hard. Black land is great, though bottomless when its wet, but you can run on it when its bone dry too: just dust.

I never run my dogs on Plough or Maize stubble , Any try not to run in woodland either as ive seen dogs run into trees full pelt behind qaurry straight in to trees inthe past. Also around here on the Flood plains to get grass feilds, in varying size with humps all the way through feilds, these can bugger up a dogs feet sometimes.

 

Land is varied around me, Very Varied

my dogs have alway's run anywhere,they've got to have good feet and half a brain,they won't run flat out on some surfaces if they are used to it,I've run them on tips,inner city area's,I once had all the railway tracks from wirral to crew to pest control,you see if they can hack the edge of that they can run anywhere,these are working dogs bred for almost anything thrown at them.I have only ever broke one toe on a dog in 40yrs and that was supposed to have been a 3/4 collie/greyhound,when he matured he had thrown strongly to the greyhound without a lot upstairs,ran to fast on any surface so I found a home for him with a lad that only took him out now and then.I have had a lot of lacerated pads on these places but sometimes thats the way it goes.I just think if we all waited for the right conditions and places then you would never get out and catch anything,most places with any decent game is normally rough land in dangerous conditions for the dog,most of my better land is full of maize stumps and I know its dangerous for the dog to strike through at quarry but these are hard working dogs bred for running not walked about on leads in parks or just grassy fields,I take it as it comes,we've all lost good dogs through accidents,but once they're off that leash anything can happen,good feet and brain and you're in with a chance,this is only my way of doing it and probably would'nt suit most,wirralman

Run them on any ground where a coyote will travel and in any weather just about. If I chose to not run on frozen plowed fields I wouldnt be doin any runnin at all cause thats about all we got to run on sometimes. They may go from stalk field to bean stubble to plow across or down gravel road or rail road beds. Pretty much wherever the coyote goes, the dogs gotta go if they want to catch em.
