Getting a dog into that sort of condition is not quick or easy 4 Quote Link to post

ATB Andy. A dog with a few runs in it is usless to me Andy but so is a dog what would lift its head at certain times if you get my point. Most dogs can be conditioned to get the best out of them stamina wise but you carnt make a dog do something it doesnt want to do. 1 Quote Link to post
