likes been said you wont beat free running ect but i like to do abit of road work afew weeks before season starts just to harden up the pads abit

[POACHING LAD 0]

personally i think plenty road work is good keeps the nails short hardens the feet and keeps the dog up on its toes. also gives you exercise awin win

I have found that getting them fit is far easier with more than one dog. If I take one dog out on its own to the field he will just stand next to me and maybe have the odd sniff in the bushes. If I take all 3 then they can spend hours sprinting around the field chasing each other.
