condition and fitness of coursing dogs

[poacherman 353]

to have a coursing dog competing at a high level such as the forley cup what would be asked of you to keep your dog fit enough to compete with the best. not only keeping the dog fit but keeping it in good condition before and after a good day out with long courses

run them 2 times a week every day 3 to 5 miles max and a rest now and then would be a good start

what kind of idiot reply is that

[cushy 37]

Walk everyday 3-5miles a day & some people just let them have a good run on a field .

 

Good balanced diet ( once or twice a week give them various boiled veg with dry mix ) I use austrillan formula myself .

 

Use cream or spray massage dogs joints & muscles before and after run .

 

I don't know about anyone else I use neatradex after a hard work to clean kidney & etc start through

Exactly that,combined with good grub and plenty of time when injured

Has anyone who has answered actually ran in the forley cup?

 

50km through the week, then you would want it to go do 4 in 4 on saturday. Maybe but in my opinion thats a bit much.

its far to much in my opinion 3-4 miles in a session the trick is not to over do it and feed quality not quantity and a warm kennel helps speed recovery
