how often?

[martnmagik 68]

hi all i was just after a bit of advice on how often you would take a 12 month pup out on the lamp? ive had mine out twice in the last week and she is doing really well, im tempted to get her out tonight but dont want to over do it and push her to hard. what would you suggest? atb mart

[DottyDoo 500]

id say that the length of time spent lampin an number of runs would be more important than the ammount of times ye have took the pup oot,

 

if that makes sense lol, id rather gee it 3 runs, 3 nites a week, than 1 nite wae 10 runs...

 

 

 

an that wid only happen if the dog was ready for it, an you the owner should know better than anybody

yeah i see what your saying dotty shes keen to run but on the 2 nights she was out had 5 runs the first night caught 3 and 4 runs the second night and caught 2. when i put her in the truck for home she was not imprest with me at all, she has plenty of stamina to do more but just dont want to over do it, shes the first pup ive had to bring on so a bit unsure to be honest

get out as much as you can mate few short runs a night wont hurt its all experiance for it

well mate if you an her seem to think she is capable of more, then why not??? there is a fine line between over dooing it, an keeping a keen pup happy,

but like i have said mate, nobody is in a better position than yourself to judge how much to gee the youngster

get out and enjoy your self mate atb with the dog and the season foxing macheen

little and often is the way to go 4 or 5 nights a week when the weathers right 4 or 5 runs each time ,you will sooon learn to see when youre dog wants more or when its ready for to call it a night have a good season atb

the weather tonight is looking very good for lamping here. if the winds up with a bit of rain or theres either just rain or a good wind it wouldnt hurt to take your dog out for a run as the conditions will help out your dog. imo it shouldnt hurt to take the dog out tonight providing the weathers good.
