Running Dog

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Depends on the individual dog,, there all different and have different abilitys,,,, I'd love to see a dog that puts 50 in the bag do it 3 nights on the bounce,,, I'm not saying there's not a few out there that MIGHT do it,,,, but they will be few and far between ,,,,,I remember Andy telling me about old bulpa doing 9 consecutive nights...that's a fecking tall order.

 

Mine last week ran on a Monday,, and killed 63,, then ran on Thursday and killed 43,, befor picking up a knock ending the night,,,, now in all honesty that would be enough for this bitch,,,, I could proberbly get 3 nights out of her at 20 or 30 ish each night,,, or better still two nights off between sessions ,,,so not quite 3 in aweek,,,

Can't argue with any of that.

 

I also think it depends where you are running them.

 

Up the dales I reckon a decent dog could do 50 3 nights on the bounce.

 

Round here 10 would be a big big ask.

It's not about the dog getting to much work , it's about the dog man giving it to much work ,you need to know your animal ,I've known to many lads which can't help themselves and give their dog another slip on the way back to the car after a heavy night , the bunny takes the piss, then the excuses start .get them home wash there feet give them a light rub down kennel coat on feed and kennel up , then in the morning when you take them out to empty themselves look at him to see how he is on his feet check him over and give him a stretch you will soon know if he can do another night

a few lads I know who used to do a bit were out most nights in the season running there dogs hard ...

fox hare and rabbits now this was in the days way before the ban and were getting decent numbers for around here ,nothing like you would get in the dales mind ..

but they would work there dogs hard ,I was only young then 15ish and used to see these dogs hardly able to move the next day, a days rest and the would be up and ready to go again..its all down to indervidual dogs ,fitness ..but they knew when the dogs were done for the night ..which is the most important thing in a dogman...

Every dog has it's limits. When we go lamping we only really. stop when the dogs can't take anymore. Even on the second night of that their form drops. If you run your dog 3,4,5 nights on the trot to it's limits you won't be doing it any good. Mammals muscles all workdoesn'ame. If they don't get enough recovery period you get muscle wastage. Ask any body builder

A dog running is cardiovascular. Not quite ripping the muscles like a body builder does.

I don't think we were talking about running a dog until it drops. I certainly wouldn't want to do that 3/4/5 nights running.

It's a combination of both. When you have your dog fit it's not cardio that fails. All lurchers and sighthounds sprint repeatedly during a nights lamping no matter what you're running. If your dog is fit a short break will recharge it's lungs. But if their muscles have built up lactic acid to the point where they've slowed down drastically then that's that for the night. If a dog running doesnt rip the muscles like an athlete then why do they get cramp?

I didn't say like an athlete. I said like a body builder. I can see what you are saying but think it was a bad analogy.

 

How common is cramp in a dog? Have you had a dog go down with it?

Just get the dog out you'll see what they can do
