[midlands_moocher 3]

just out of interest, what sort of mileage are you doing with dogs daily?

i run my dogs 1.5 - 3 mile behind the car at around 10-12mph...works perfect for me, gets my dogs into nice shape...then thay have load of rabbit work..then there ready for the season. every one has diffrent ways, this works for me.

I took mine on a 10 miles cycle yesterday with 15 minutes of swimming in the river at the end....when we got back I could barely even walk up the stairs and that sod was throwing a ball around the living room and half an hour later mithering to go for a walk....if she keeps that up I'll get myself a motorbike and that'll shut the fecker up!

i run mine along side the bike for 5miles, 2-3 days a week,along with 1-2 nights lamping weather permitting.

would it be bad to run them alongside a bike for an hour a day pretty much every day or should you rest inbetween?

i rest inbetween, every second day works for me.

On days when it's been raining I've been taking mine on a field alongside a river and alternating between throwing a ball across the field with one of them chucker things and throwing it in the river, get's her running fast and swimming constantly for an hour and the river stops her getting too hot. Trouble is there hasn't been many rainy days! Think I'll alternate between running alongside bike every other day and mooching through the woods and swimming. And chasing the ball when weather permits!

Has anyone ever used one of those dog scooters? I quite like the idea but not only are they a right rip off wouldn't you look like an absolute burk going along on one of them!

i will do a 2-3hr mooch early in the morning or late in the evening, if i am going out that night i don't do anything during the day, i will always rest them 1 day in the week.
