Surely you knew the ground was like iron before you headed out.. Should respect your dogs more.. You could of waited a few more weeks till its rains, now you could be laided of 8 weeks perhaps more.. 2 Quote Link to post

Well to be honest one dog done it in the day while walking off lead a rabbit got up and it run after it totally a accident,the other one I was asked to go on a dog with someone and on wAy back they decided to lamp home,as I was in car with them I had not much choice and that's when it done it.on the other hand I know plenty of lads lamp all summer and have no probs Quote Link to post
whippet 99 2,613 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 no one would intentionally run a dog if they thought it was rock hard , you cant wrap them up in cotton wool , if something gets up whilst out walking then that's bad luck , I made a bad judgement too run me cur on what I thought was good pasture , luckily her stopper pad is near back too normal , the ground didn't look too bad and sometimes I think you just get that element of bad luck where you think , fook its my fault ,.....the rest of the mutts that ran were fine .....but the element of doubt will remain .......

No mate, where you could put 30+'s in the bag in a couple of hours, you'd be lucky to get over 5..! If you need to give a youngster a couple of spins if the grounds hard (dry or frozen) everywhere else it's ok but not now as most of it is still high. Quote Link to post
