Went out one night, came back never eat his grub but he did get double breakfast as he had my other dogs bowl off the side when my back was turned so I thought nothing of it. Next day came out of kennel all his back legs stiff really struggling to walk. Rubbed him down quite hard everywhere no yelps or sign of pain. Back end shaking when pissing. Took him vets on 3 rd day he said lactic acid build up. Jabbed him and antiinflamatory still no better couple days later and still not eat so had him pumped full of fluids. Few more jabs. Started to move round a lot better back to himself in mobility just still a bit picky with food last 2/3 days. Was eating then getting sick for 3 days. Just keeping him warm under lamp and as much grub as hel eat now and hope he comes good. I’m wandering if he drunk something in a puddle maybe the night we were out and something bad in it. 

Hope he ok mate

The topic is about fit dogs, i'm discussing fit dogs, if you want a pretty picture subject there's a great photography section with some fantastic shots that make me swoon with envy..

As to upsetting people I don't think anyone has commented on any particular dog and my youngster carries plenty of muscle, probably more than i would like. I've trained and raced pure greyhounds, worked  bull crosses, salukis types, beddy crosses etc and in general would say the they all lost muscle bulk when getting properly fit, didn't mean they weren't muscled but ....

i like a picture of a dog stood to show its balance rather than its muscles.

 

I give up I couldn’t of started the topic any simpler I’m not interested in a argument with you or anyone else to be honest  I just wanted to see pictures of working sight hounds an there crosses just thought being on the working lurcher section it’d be made simple no bull shit expert talk wasn’t interested in looking through a pretty picture gallery of loads of different breeds an types I’ve not said your dog don’t carry muscle I’ve just said it’s a fine build dog meaning being a different type of hound that it is no offence intended. I’ll bid ya good evening fella crack on an all that

My young dog. We was starting to get out about 4 times a week until he got I’ll and never eat for about a week. Had him up the vets a couple of times. Looks like a skeleton at the minute but back to eating properly now so hoping he back to his old self within a few weeks

Definitely the dog game. I’ve had the last 5 seasons of stop start no serious dog action with the issues I had with dogs the first pup out my old bitch getting lepto an dieing then the old bitch crippled her self then the other young bitch out the old bitch kept nocking toes out an just generally didn’t make what I was looking for dogs can be a nightmare when you want to get on an out an work dogs but it’s all part of the parcel it makes you appreciate it more when there up an running

I agree that the layman tends to refer to marathon runners as 'fit' and strength athletes as 'strong' but fitness to the purist is defined by capability imo. It covers any relevant aspect of physicality. What is relevant depends on the task.

The likes of Rich Froning and I'd argue Ross Edgley are incredibly fit lads, in an all round sense, and have Olympian-esque physiques.

just come back to this thread....out all day yesterday....read sandys post...and thought try telling that to froning and edgely ....then read your post...lol ...

Lol, I'll just leave these here

with the thought, how many bull crosses get rhabomyolysis, heat and co2 are two of the main determinants to reduced muscle fibre contraction up to about 45 minutes. Big muscles create lots of both. 

 

ps lactic acid increases muscle contraction
