to much work?

[_Sean_ 15]

i have only one dog at the moument and have been doing a lot af lamping recently which puts a lot of strain on my bitch as shes takeing the full work load herself and iv noticed shes not running to her usual standard after a few weeks of nearly every second night lamping. how long should a dog b allowed to rest up or do yous advise any thin else to build her up?

If you are lamping her that much, then i would give her a week off, just light excersise every day, then go back and lamp her just 2 to 3 times a week max.

If you are lamping a lot of rabbits, like anything from 15 to 30 a night, and need another dog, then prehaps investing in another good pup, might take the pressure off your bitch in the future..

A DOG NEED A REST,I KNOW SOME ONE WHO HAD 2 STOP RUNNING RABBITS, AS A PUP HE USED 2 RUN HE,S DOG ABOUT 5 TIMES A WEEK ,THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST HE DRIVE FOR IT,SO NOW HE CAN ONLY RUN BIG STUFF NOW,

too much work will sicken the dog, experienced it myself.

give her a rest for a few days till shes jumping around in her kennel then bring her on again, thats what i would do

f**k me you lads must be hitting some numbers to sicken your dogs this early into the season,i could go out round here 5 nights a week and still never had that much quarry to sicken any dog yet,may get a few low doubles on the rabbits and the odd shot and retrieved here and there, just as well i suppose as that's good enough for me

[watchman 256]

Well i think one should be able to be working 4/5 days out the week,

With good grub, A warm bed, And a little care, Then iam sure the dogs would be fine,

 

 

 

Look at MB for instance now thats a man that runs his dogs 5/6 aweek beside the landrover none of this driving about with them in the car to you see something then out it goe's, All night out with the landy running game...

i know nothing of your dogs and the amount of work you give them, but i understand you are always on the look out,maybe one day soon you will find a keeper eh

Plus if you think your working your dog to hard then get another, Half the work load, One one night and one the other, Or run em alterative slips......

 

 

And dont for get feed them the very best you can afford, Worm regularly, And flea free... I prefer raw mostly

nothing to worrie about heavily worked dogs dont look over impresive especially on the rabbits mate, like you said they lose there quick pace and tend to catch most of there quarry on the hedge. what you should find is as she has steadied up her running style will chance a bit, and what she lacks in her normal pace she will make up for by using her brain. as long as you are running her sensible she should be able to take the work load. if you are worried you are doing to much instead of going out every other night from time to time rest her for two nights then take her out again. if you have a reel good night and you work her alot harder than normal then give her a good rest up. at the end of the day mate only you know your dog. atb trigger
