Bad looking feet does not necessarily mean bad performing feet. Alot of the bull x,s about seem to have shocking looking feet but come from the field without a scratch. Alot is down to good management ie good diet and exercise. Atb stabba

iv had them with what would be deemed good feet for a bull x and they were layed up every other week with injurys although i will say the land round here imo doesnt suit a heavy bull x type,iv had others with dam near flat webbed feet and hardly any injurys at all in comparison so what you say certainly makes sense to me

my mate had a dog with the flatest feet ive ever seen but that dog did not suffer with sore toes cuts burns he performed great so boxed feet you can get knocked up toes so it must be down to the dog

And a lot depends on what sort of ground you run the dog on. Dogs which never leave grass fields, drilling etc will suffer fewer foot problems than ones which run over rough, stony, hard ground on a regular basis.

Now these are good feet, (the dogs, that is !! LOL !!). A young non-ped that is absolutely flying, at the moment;

Very proud to say, our Jack(Jack the Lad) is the sire to this young dog.

i have problems with my dogs feet, they are nice and strong and they arent flat or bad to the eye but he seems to have weak claws, always knocking them up or splitting slightly, he is a heavy dog 70lb and he aint that tall, i watch where i run him only nice soft ground (learnt that lesson last season) but occasionally he'll run through a hedge after quarry across dirt/stoney tracks and always seems to damage them then. is there anything i can do other than keeping them well trimmed to improve the strength of the claws so he doesnt damage them so often?

 

imo a bit of road work would help strengthen the pads and keep the nails down but if they are weak I'd look into the dogs diet

 

do plenty road work his pads are ok, doesnt really have problem with them, his diet is quite good, mix of raw, veg, pasta, bones once weekly, egg twice a week, and markus muhle dry complete (very good food, not heat treated kibble). maybe its just in his breeding i dunno

Maybe it's low on vitamin h or could have a bacterial infection in the nails? How bad are the nails?
