runforyourlife 361 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I guess some people on here dont know what "fit" dogs are.... It is all so different, and matters so much on the terrain you work the animal on. Grass, sand, stubble, rock, slate, clay, babys heads, ruff, bush and so on. Flat ground, hillocks, moor, woods etc...strong dog, skinny dog, meat dog, dry foood dog, all these things mean a different kind of stamina, and running performance.. And then there is the owner! Makes me laugh when you see an over weight bloke, or just a genuine fatty, trying to tell you that his dogs are fit as.. If so, he would be to..Another good indication is the color of the owners face and arms!! ITs been sunny from march till june, most owners with a fit animal would be brown or at least colored a little with a tan. Prime example was at the "flowers pub" terrier and lurcher show in lancs. Where i believe 99% of the guys who go to this one(including some big names off here)are genuine dog lads and know there stuff. Everybody there was brown... You could tell they genuinely worked in the field, didnt look ill, and very few fattys exsisted there... 1 Quote Link to post

WHAT a thing to say most of you on here have seen my pics, im not exactly slim, but youve all seen the pics i put up each winter week after week with the dogs lampning and ferreting, with some deasent scores. ile walk with anyone up the dales, granted i might be a little slower than a 12 stone 25 year old but ile keep going the other thing runforyourlife is alot of lads run there dogs along side the truck, great for the dogs but not great for your waist also having a tan is no indication to how fit a dog is in WINTER , im just starting bringing my dogs fitness up now, but it will be another 6 week till there right.

I don't agree with that mate, I know both terrier lads and Lurcher lads a like that are Porky fellows. The dog can get in shape as it runs about but if you're just Walking as the dog is running about you will not burn that much weight off yourself, but the dog can still be whipped into shape.
