Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 The more they can get out and run the better. If you have a place they can run loose their whole young lives its the best. If you cant do that then you need to simulate it. Take them somewhere safe for as many hours a day as you can and let them romp and stomp as much as they want. As they get up there in age, you can start pushin them a bit more and more. By 14 months old or there abouts a dog should be rockin and rollin. Quote Link to post

Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) spot on that dan edwards I meant not much road work when they are young. Its obvious that an older dog that gets very "lazy" and quiet is gonna need road work or some sorta forced exercise and lots of hunting. Edited August 31, 2010 by Dan Edwards Quote Link to post
