Kennel Dogs

Do you think lurchers/working dogs are tougher in the kennel ?

[jamesmc 582]

Lol......dae you????

[coursing-lad 71]

A think they would cope better out in the field staying in the kennel

[Ideation 8,216]

'Mostly' bollocks I think.

 

Although a dog kenneled out in colder weather will have a better tolerance to the cold, and and probably a slightly thicker jacket. Although it shouldnt make that much difference when working . . . . . if the dog wants it. . . . . he won't feel the cold either way!

I don't know tbh I've never kept my lurchers in the house (only when pups)so I can't really say but they would adapt better the the harsh nights

Dogs in kennels are well 'arder' than those in the house. They bite harder, run harder and shiit arder

[LaraCroft 863]

LMAO !

[coursing-lad 71]

Run harder I recon

[B.P.R 2,798]

Run harder I recon

You think they would run harder?

 

You serious?

[RossM 8,118]

f**k me!........

[Ideation 8,216]

I don't agree with the 'harder' bit. . . . but 'hardier' quite possibly.

 

It's got to be tough going from a really warm house out into the freeing winter nights. . . . luckily i'm a cheap b*****d and don't heat my house!

 

I have noticed theough, that dogs that have been kenneled for some of their lives and in the house for other parts, have, when growing in their winter coat, generally grown a thicker and better coat.

Dunno how many times this shit has been on here - twice in the last week I reckon...makes no odds one way or the other...inside, outside...take yer pick...and why coursing-lad reckons they would "run harder" is beyond any logical thinking...

:hmm:do you not get a bit cold yourself with no heating on /cold house?

I'm just one of those weird folk who can't stand the heat indoors, but doesn't get bothered by the cold.

 

I'm generally interested though, if anyone HAS found that it can make a little difference to the dog. Not in terms of its working ability, or it's drive etc. . . . . but just in terms of how its coat comes in, in winter etc?

 

To add, I got dogs both kenneld out side and living in the house.
