crorider 174 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Seen loads of dogs get cramp including my own. Only seen one hit the deck with it. They usually just hold their leg up and you can actually see the spasm of the muscle. Ok Maybe more like a footballer than a bodybuilder but it's the same basic principle. A footballer can train all week whilst improving strength and fitness but they need at least a day off after a match. And that's not due to cardio it's muscle fatigue Quote Link to post
crorider 174 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 So basically if you're not pushing your dog anywhere near it's limits there's no reason you couldn't work it night after night after night. But give it a real long night of hard graft and it would benefit more from a break than it would another night of the same. Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 What people have to understand there's big difference in a dog being fit and running fit. A dog needs built up for running 3 nights on the trot. Quote Link to post

A dog needs built up for running 3 nights on the trot. If it's not running fit then how can someone say there running dog is fit? A few lads say "there is fit, and there is lamp fit". Well if your lamp dog isn't lamp fit then you can't really call it fit can you? Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 imho a lot depends on the style of the dog. i would imagine a collie type would have a greater chance than say a whippet type both have totally different styles one suitable for sustained constant work loads and the other for short fast sessions Quote Link to post

I hear loads saying "would a whippet run all night" then they decide to get a lurcher and take it out for half an hour on the lamp Quote Link to post
Accip74 7,112 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 When I first read the question, I thought why not? the I started reading the posts, I haven't run a dog in years, but when I lamped as a youg man I was chuffed to come back with half a dozen lol........... Mind u I walked to all the fields from the house, after a few rabbits, a big deben battery & walking miles out & realising you had to walk back,on a mild night,I was f***** , not the dog................50 rabbits?
