Does Jabbing A Dog Slow It Down.

[king 11,984]

I was reading an old book I've got last night.

The author said she asked a top greyhound trainer about jabbing greyhounds and he said he doesent as it makes greyhounds slower.and kennels he knows who do jab have never had a fast dog.

Anyone else heard of that.

Do you mean jab them to keep them off heat? If so i dont know about greyhounds but i have seen it done to sheepdogs and they didnt work right for a while after it.

depends where you jab it, say you jabbed it on the tail it won't make a difference but if you jabbed it on the back leg just before a race it would def slow it down, could you run with a dead leg??? And if you gave it an almighty whack on the ribs it would wind it and that would slow it down too lol

It really depends what you are jabbing them with to answer the question

A lad I know has just gifted away a decent coursing bitch because he jabbed her to bring her out of season last year and she's never ran the same since.

 

Hormones effect women in strange ways as we all know, lol.

Yea that's the jab Peter parvo I should of said in the first post.interesting how the it effects dogs.if the the fighting lads have noticed it and a top greyhound trainer has also seen it.

[Lenmcharristar 9,889]

What happens to the dogs then ? Is there any other vaccination available

[marshman 7,758]

Poxy disease that parvo I think I'd rather a slower dog that was alive than a fast dead one lol

[Daniel cain 46,166]

Not jabbing a dog for parvo is lunisy imo,rather it not be so quick than watch it die from parvo or worse still recover and be a f***ing cripple,with all the slippery c**ts importing dogs from Europe with false paper work you got to be a fool not to vacinate against things IMHO, iv'e known lads get cheap jabs,and every pup in litter has died from parvo,plenty of dirty fuckers out there keeping dogs in fitly conditions and jabs not in the fridge,if you to tight to pay 30 quid then you should go get a hamster lol.atb dc

[king 11,984]

Just thinking about this now len.

If it's right that parvo jabs do slow them down and takes a bit out of them.

Then someone could spend big money on a hare dog and take the edge off it just by jabbing it with vaccine.

I don't know about other vaccination for the dogs.ive done the bull xs I've got now. but didn't do any other lurchers or staffs I've had in the past.

I'm usually slow to ridicule old wives tales because there can often be some truth to them ,but this one IMO is a load of shite.

I know many lads who use dogs for different disciplines at top level and because they're responsible dogmen they inoculate. Doesn't stop them winning.
