socks 32,253 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Took the dogs out on the quad today and decided to take Tilly for the first time as she seems to have a lot of stamina when on a normal walk and is always looking for more when we get back ... I decided on a 3 mile route to try her out with my boy following behind in the truck incase she got tired ..... I kept the pace at about 12 miles an hour interspersed with some sprints every few hundered meters .... Obviously the dogs mooch around and shoot off chasing something or other and have to sprint of their own accord to catch back up which probably adds a mile or two to the session ....... I knew the pup had good stamina but I was very surprised at how easily she found it ... When we got back to the house she had a quick drink of water and was running around the garden throwing one of her toys around and play barking at the other dogs to run around with her ..... She certainly has some stamina for a pup of just under 6 months of age .... I obviously won't be doing this regularly with her just yet but once a week for now on top of her normal walks should keep her happy ............. 3 Quote Link to post

Best of luck mate... Very true mate .... I could have taken this pup for another circuit but then you get into the realms of starting to fatigue the pup and break down muscle tissue ... At her age I think what I did was about right for her as she came back with her tongue out but not overly tired and after a quick drink wanted to play which is different than going at a constant pace ... All the dogs are fast asleep now having a nice rest waiting for their chicken beef and veg meal tonight ........ ......... 2 Quote Link to post

There is not much more I can do so if the dog has it in there it should show itself in time hopefully........ 1 Quote Link to post
