BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 But there's 'fit', 'FIT' and 'FIT' surely.....no...... I have hunted with guys in the past who wouldn't know a fit dog if it latched onto their balls........but in their eyes the dog was FIT They've gotta be fit for purpose........whatever that purpose is....... And getting a dog fit to do a job is not rocket science and it doesn't need to be complicated either..... 1 Quote Link to post

Likewise dogs expected to do a job night after night, day after day need to be fit for purpose...... Tell you what Paul....I think a lot of dogs fall down/jack/are passed on/branded useless because of a lack of conditioning/fitness rather than a lack of ability.....natural ability will only get you so far....a fit for purpose hard, mediocre dog will be more use than a poorly conditioned top class dog...... 2 Quote Link to post

And they'd all finish last...... Quote Link to post
nothernlite 18,089 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 sessionsimo thats why whippets wont do the same numbers as the lurchers before anyone starts im not knocking whippets I agree but I reckon most whippets could do more than % of lads would ask them to. 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 and alot couldnt do what % expect them to do great we dogs but not for me Quote Link to post
