Preparing a lurcher for working

[AdamTrickett 0]

Hi all, I'm new to the site and although I'm not new to the hunting game, I am new to working my own dog, as this is my first lurcher. I have a collie greyhound half cross which is 9 months old. I am not showing my dog the lamp until between 12-14 months, but I'm starting to intensify the walks and exercise in order to get him fit and bring out some muscle as he is now filling out. What is the best meat to feed him and what quantity?

Feed my boy 2 meals a day, normally consisting of worker complete biscuits every meal and add anything that is good for him - mainly protein rich foods such tuna. eggs and small portion of my liver leftovers from tea.

 

Lots of exercise and he'll be spot on.

 

See picture below for my 9 month old beddy whippet x grey
