Yep I work my dogs all year round as its what I do for a living ... It can be hard work on both dogs and man but you do have a quiet period now and again which gives you all a chance to recharge your batteries ...........

No I don't I work my dogs in the winter months an then I am out 5 nights a week but I do like to rest my dogs in the summer, let then rest and put weight on still taking them out for a short walk everyday but try to avoid places where anything will jump out the cover but I think the dogs need a rest to be fair but each to their own I guess

why avoid places that hold rabbits just keep your dog on the lead but id say that would be pretty boring for the dog and you tbh letting the dogs have a mooch keeps them in good condition and keeps their brains active in the warmer months while their not getting the work they usually get and come winter time you dont have to put much work into them getting them fit

Sometimes thats why its abit slow golf courses and driving ranges always seem to be runnable though only hard frosts seem to screw them up being england as well we ususaly have rain through summer as well they have just cut silage and hay here so that opens up a few more fields
