Do You Still Run Dogs Is Snow Either On Lamp Or Through Day.

[Dranny GLC 112]

I'm only a beginner still learning just wondering if its worth going out early in the morning or going lamping tonight.?

You wont even need a lamp

We went for a cracking mooch this morning at 6:30. It was as light as day because of the snow. Drifts up to your waist in places and dogs enjoyed themselves.

 

You couldn't go lamping. It's not dark.

 

A mates dog ripped her nail out running on some real hard ground where there wasn't much snow, but he says her nails were long overdue a trim so this was half the reason.

 

My bitch and the other 2 dogs feet are fine, I guess it's a risk you take.

Dont bother with the lamp, you should be able to make out the silhouette of stuff against the snow out in the field if you stick to the hedge rows or country roads you should be able to see loads without the lamp

I still run mine in the daytime. however ice under this dry snow can be a b*stard on feet plus fallen branches and other hidden obsticles can make it a challange at times. But you carn`t wrap then in cotton wool

You can't call running big rabbits in snow very sporting not deep snow anyway.

Hi dranny,

Steve and I was out friday had a great do, we went mid day and were we went it was just 2 degrees keep a eye on the temp make sure its not too hard under foot if it is don't bother running, feet are very important on your running dog

Your mate Dan pmd me the other day, i asked how you and him was getting on but he never replied ATB 2.8

My lurcher's are run on any ground and in any weather,good dogs will cope but dogs bred close to the bull or greyhound are not very bright and will run everything flat out,so if you know your dog then its your choice but you would lose a lot of sport waiting for ideal conditions,WM

Just be careful snow can be fun but as soon as dog hits hard ground it could turn nasty
