When going out usually give mine something small at about 4 or 5 ish normally something light like a srambled egg with a small handfull of complete food

I found that the dogs I have had have been different, some needed feeding 10 or 12 hours before you worked them and some run better if they have not been fed since the previous day (20 hours or so).....that's just what I found anyway.

 

My wee terrier needed working fat.

i use a main feed the day before and then give them a tin of tuna, or an egg 2 hrs before we go out, just for a protien boost. My father used to race whippets and to clear them out before a race he would place a match stick 3/4 of its length in the dogs arse. This encourages the dog to empty out before racing. i seen it as a kid and it works, weather it takes time off i dont know but it makes sense to me.

That's a a cracking story mate, I am not so sure I will be giving my 65 lb dog the ol swan vesta treatment but it made me smile none the less

I like feeding in the morning or midday if iam at home, If iam ferreting or flushing in the morning ill feed last thing at night before bed, Then the dogs get a full meal when they get in and another full meal the next morning as normal

all good then!!!
