Wales1234 5,572 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Now the Seasons finished how do you pass the time you spent with the dogs in the winter ? I still walk them a lot probably more now I got more time the dogs still hunt I can't turn them off just I don't have a terrier and shovel with me and i don't lamp ! My 4 month old pup is learning with every trip out weather it be hunting or with stock So how do you lads spend your summer? This is were the old girl will be spending this summer and from now on parents finally agreed to have her down the house she deserves the rest of her days in the house ! She will be still be out most days just won't be making the trips away anymore ! 5 Quote Link to post

king 11,984 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Still walking the dogs flat out here.only thing I don't like is the heat when trying to get a good push on walking up the mountains.sweating like hell lol.i like that ice cold wind cools you down a treat. Plenty of wild camping with the kids.and river swimming. 1 Quote Link to post
bird 10,013 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 i am going to do a lot of road walking, if i can get out of pain with my lower back this summer . As dogs spend alot of time in fields = grass and there nails get long, and i am for ever cutting them back going to see if the road work keeps the nails down . be nice walks in the lanes in the evening's looking forward to it and bit of lead work good for dogs 2 Quote Link to post

To let things breed up over the summer, it isnt law its just a general rule for most. But a few people will go out all year round. 1 Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 47,026 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hard enough catching gear in the season lol-don't hurt to let things rest-other than a call out its nice to kick back and give stuff time to recoperate. Atb dc Quote Link to post
