keeping your dog fit

[Daytimeonly 91]

many people have different ways of keeping there dog fit, ive heard older people in the game talk about getting bull x and dh x fit and strong for the bigger game by making them pull weights, alot of people swear by beech walking, road work, and just manual walking, whats your opinions? i like to think that i get my dogs fit by being repetetive ( sorry about my spelling ) a set walk day in day out for a certain distance, how about you? thanks lads

i walk my dog a few miles aday and he,s free running and working all the way then get him out for a run on the back fields later on in the day just do what suits you and if your happy with the dogs fitness then thats all that matters

i take my dog two 1 hour walks a day mostly road walking. this helps keep him fit and also helps to build muscle. i swear by this and its not failed me yet

a dog gets fit by running not walking,dogs diet also needs monitoring as well

Two hours walk of the lead, everyday, when not ferreting.

And BARF diet.
