steve2507 522 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 How many of you lads give a little bit of grub whilst out on a hard slog day or night ? I always carry a boiled egg with me or 2 if I have both dogs with me, I have found if they lagging a bit it gives them a bit more fuel. Quote Link to post

steve2507 522 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 so setting off first light or last light and staying out for the duration (last light or first ) your dogs run on what they went out with good slog for a dog that maybe several small runs and several long runs and still run on the tank they went out in fair does lads 1 Quote Link to post

Some lads never leave the house with out a mars bar i feed 1/4 meal pasta+fish or meat at 4 pm, norm work the dog about midnight say 3-4 hours, then rub down when finish then feed norm amount of food when back at home, my dogs seem ok with that, just give them somthing in there belly for a hard night lamping as they will burn all there energy up quick with nothing in the body Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,269 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Last season I experimented,,with giving the dog some grub halfway through a big night out ,,after the dog had cought around 30 rabbits,, I went in to a barn for a rest,,for about 30 mins,,, got out my small rucksack , about half a pint of milk,, in a bowl,, as well as a cheese sarnie,, and gave it to the dog,, I will be honest here,, I thought it perked her up,,, Maybe it was sycosimatic,, and it was just the bit of rest,, but it seemed to work,,,, I know jim last year when he did the ton with earn stopped and fed him some grub half way through the night 1 Quote Link to post

andy97 209 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 i always thought it stiched the dogs up running with food in them be like us running after having dinner Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 A small amount of high fat/high carb/high protein will help a dog if it is out for many hours: something that won't sit heavy in their guts: I've used a small tin of mackerel in oil with a slice of brown bread in the past when out coursing all day. Seems to help: but just as important is to get a similar food into them as soon as they've stopped running for the day/night: once they've had a drink and stopped panting of course. Bad idea to let a dog drink a lot after eating when tired: likely to bring it all up again straight away. I always feed a small meal in the back of the van before we make the trip home: makes sense if you're a long way from home. 1 Quote Link to post
