[ferreting lee 0]

i wouldnt even think of takin a 7 month old pup out on a bike ride i would start takin it out with the bike when its about 10 month so its done a bit growning people of this site are to keen to start there pups off just let them grow for f**k sake man youl only ruin it

im a beginner mate dont try hiding the fact that is y i have asked before doing anyhting myself which i thought was sensible but u get silly remarks off ppl you are suppose to be able to come on here for genuine advice and help off the genuine dogmen obviously that is to difficult for some lol

he aint going near a bike till he 10-12 mth now i have read ppl advice on here includin urslef much appreciated

all of my dogs run beside the bike i dont usually start until thgey are at least 10 months old and for the first couple of months only a mile or so. Smaller whippet crosses or most longdogs usually mature physically quicker but bull or deerhounds shouldnt be pushed the deeround is a massive breed and needs to grow out of its bone before you start with conditioning.

 

I would work up slowly to about five miles at the age of 2 i have found that going further doesnt add a lot to conditioning. More importantly for younger dogs is to run free through big fields,woodland and beaches they encounter different terrain and obstacles learn to like water. Just make sure the dogs re call is spot on and every walk should be a training exercise. The brain needs as much stimulation as the body, good luck

 

 

 

 

and the end result is this

these are some good motion shots mate i like them nice looking dog too mate thanks for advice i`m just getting into the dogs and all mates stoppped going so trying to read up and ask advice on things sorry if they seem daft but they are genuine

thanks again ferreting lee
