would you run your dog ......

[watchman 256]

Lots of very good points and answers for both sides of the debate.Personly I honstly beleive it depends more on the dog than the plough.I have a dog here that I would be happy running on any plough and confident that he would make his work look easy upon it as he has for many years without injury or issue however I have another that even though their build,breed and frame are almost identical just dosn't seem to master the art of it and my heart stops every time he races anywere near plough work as he turns into "bambi on ice" within a few yards on the stuff.

I,v never thought twice about running plough ,I,v always had small agile dogs , I don,t know if that would make a difference to peoples thinking. ATB

we run on any land if you were to pick and choose round here you'd never get a run,most decent dogs adapt their pace to the terrain their running,I'm not saying we've never had injuries but thats all part of the game,I've seen dogs seriously injured in flat grass fields,keep your dog fit and plenty of hard roadwork for the feet is all you can do,I've ran dogs on tips and railway lines without any injury,if its there to be run,the dogs slipped,atb,wirralman

[stabba 10,745]

if my dogs couldnt handle the odd plough or 3 then they wouldnt be in my kennels

[littletimmy 71]

Only if the plough has weathered down a bit by the rain, and never when its dry;

 

:thumbs:

 

Nothing worse than seeing the dogs shouders about to pop out with every bound.

One of my dogs run's well on plough, I myself do not.
