you can do all the hours you want on the road or free run them all day if you want but a dog wont be full fit until its getting runs (hunted week in week out)There is walking fit then there is hunting fit big difference

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!

Road work to me is dogs in harness's and around 5 mile walk pulling all the way. Works a whole different set of muscles compared to trotting or running behind a car. Jmho folks

Will it need any of these muscles,to run ??

[blan89 159]

mine get a half hour walk in the AM

 

and then either a 3-5 mile run or another half hour walk in the evening.

5 miles trotting with benefit the dog more than pulling on the lead for 5 miles, it will use more muscles trotting

It isnt really, my dogs are well muscled now,but in a months time when the only excersise they get is running and working,the muscle will not be any were near as defined.So are they fitter now than when there lamping 4 5 nights a week.

If i was going to run a marthon i wouldnt go weight training.Think big muscles are cool becouse of the bull cross.

Any one walking there dogs for 2 hours a day are wasting there time,becouse the dog dosnt need it.

so strengthening muscles isn't an important part of fitness?

 

Not on about big muscles, on about strengthened, conditioned muscles....saying that's not an important part of fitness/hunting is bizarre in my opinion!
