jist wondering the best way to get a lurcher at the peak of its fitness

[donkdaniel 236]

Lamping bunnies mate that's the best way and for a bit of pre season behind the car at a trotting pace for a few miles works well

[Guest born to run1083]

there's so many individual varriations that need to be taken in to account to get an individual dog at the top of there game each dog is different in everyone's else's kennel, alot depends on how many times you lamp your dog through the week and how many runs your dog gets at an outing if you only lamp once a week your need to do a hell off alot with the dog each day to get them up there best fitness but if you go 3-5 times a week they need alot less as lamping days give them all they need and other days in week are rest days and only need a few hour of free running to keep lose so all depends what you do with the dog really

i keep my dogs fit by working them hard. good long walks and i take them running with me when i go.

imo the only way to get them to peak fitness is grafting the dogs in the fields.. and not just one night a week, but a few...also getting the dog on the best feed possible..

get them out walking lots and plenty of runs

[Tom n Sky 16]

I give mine 2 mile in the morning then 5 to 7 mile in the evening. Both times out on the push bike.

 

Does everybody exercise in the morning?

Mine get to run round my farm/fields In the morning they also follow me when I go out on the horses the two usually run round going mad chasing each other for about a hour on morning. Then on a night the they either go lamping or free run round the farm again. But we go out 3/4 times a week. If they don't get worked hard then they will go for a hours walk day after. But as hs been said each dogs different. Atb Nat
