Feed Or Not Feed

[TOMO 26,684]

At no point did I say feeding after work was wrong,,,,I do it myself,,,on those big trips up north,, I take a bowl of food for when she's finished,,,usually some mince,, and a cup of dry compleat...

 

Its just I know it's better to feed the befor work as well,,,not just befor obviously but as socks keeps saying 6-8 hours...

 

And here's a question for all the late night feeders,,,,this is a question I have asked befor,,,but no answers...

 

If you feed just befor you go to bed,,in case you go lamping,,,I bet you don't change this,,if you diside to go for a run first thing in the morning,,,either on old puss,,,or ferreting,,,or whatever,,,yet the dog would have still had food in it's belly just 8 hours earlier ??

Ive thought i werent going lamping and fed at 8 by 10 the winds blowing ive set my alarm for 3 and gone out,Wouldnt want to do it all the time,but needs must, one thing for sure dog didnt run any better or catch any more.

If i know im going to ferret i feed at 8 thats 12 hours.

Point is you can feed 8 hours if you want,that dosnt make you or dog any clever better or what ever.

If it was all so right and wrong there would be a big book of dos and donts and every one would just follow it to the letter.

Some go by what others tell them some think about it and do it there way,Dolls dont need to come out of prams because a lad dosnt do it the same way.

Nah shouldn't the food be waiting at the ahem exit??lol

 

I always used to feed in the morning around 10ish (unless out for the day then much earlier) and a half meal after working with the odd rabbit ear during never seemed to harm any of my pooches.

 

For the guys on about hounds twice a week etc the simple reasoning is that most of the day the hounds are moving at travelling/trotting speed which does not engage the high energy devouring muscles. Least that's what I was told lol

No i didnt

I think any one trying to tell me i need to come home from work at 2 to feed my dog to go lamping at 10 is talking out of there arse.

But if thats what they want to do i aint going to get upset about it.

Free thinkings free.

Yeh ye did,,,

 

You said and I quote,,,,you have feed at at 8 then got up at 3 and gone lamping,,,,there ya go....ok you say it didn't perform any better,,,,,none of us said it would..

 

You also said you go ferreting the next morning 12 hours later,,,,so ain't that the same,,,,cos it sure as shit isnt 24 hours ....

 

 

The hole point you just don't seem to get is...nobody is suggesting you must feed exactly 8 hours befor,,,

 

What we are saying is,,,24 hours is a bit to long,,,yeh dogs will still do the nessesary,,of course they will,,,but I've seen dogs flattened like that,,like I said 2 of my own,,,

 

But give the dog somthing earlier in the day,,, 12 hours if ya want,,the dog will be fueled up,,feed it in the morning if that's better for ya,,,and nobody is suggesting you come home at 2,,

 

Does your dog not perform well in the morning when ferreting,,,,of course it does,,,

I feed every night at say 11 before bed. Fasted one day a week every week. And also used to feed dry

 

 

Used too.... being the word

 

 

If iam lamping feeding in the morning before work and after the night out. Never fast now see no difference what so ever, and use nothing but raw meat now....

 

 

Think sometimes we just get stuck in our way's

I never said you had to come home from work at two to feed ... What I said was you could feed at two if you were lamping at ten and that would give the dog the 8 hours to digest its food ... This thread has proved that your the only person talking out of their arse fella ......

[weasle 1,119]

Well then when you get home at 5 they can get a small fatty meal then ... It's still very easy ......

Im talking out my arse

tomo you come across as a sound lad,

people did suggest you feed 8 hours before, even 5

Then of course you had the smart ass shit about if the dog aint doing much you prob get away with it.LAMPING ALL NIGHT BLAH

My way of thinking is once the fuel theres and it aint used its still there,might be wrong but it suits me if it hadnt i would have changed it.

Then when the science comes out , it goes from your boring to we never said that

A well looked after dog is a well looked after dog, you can take it further if you want, as far as you want but your doing it for your self not the dog.

And mushroom take a lurcher out with the hounds for a trot it will be begging for mercy in a couple of hours

You feel better for the confession ?

[delswal 3,819]

Just a guess since as I have only had dogs for a short time compared to some on here ( 35yrs). Food = energy, no food = no energy.

 

Got to agree with socks, it serves no purpose to starve a dog for 24hrs whatsoever, unless of course you're daft enough to listen to old wives tales or compare your dog to the feeding habits and hunting habits of a wolf or a wild dog ect, like some on here.

[sandymere 8,263]

Only 35 years in dogs why you young whipper snapper , but "Food=energy, no food= no energy" sounds like the basic law of thermodynamics to me, alas that is science so will be unpopular but right non the less .

 

Ps The law of thermodynamics is natural science so put the shovel down weasel
