The folk that, are either extremely lucky, or extremely dedicated. And quite rare. And quite on the sausage roll Quote Link to post

I said ‘get the most out of a dog’ not push it to breaking, let’s be honest how many folk on here have pushed a dog so far it’s broken? When it’s not just been a dog that’s lacking.

socks 32,253 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 You said to take it as far as it’s capable ... to me that reads as push it as far as it can go to see what it’s capable of. Which is why I mentioned about the very thin line between pushing a dog to its max and pushing it over the edge. Quote Link to post

Trouble is every dog has a breaking point weither it's age ,Injury or just literally chucking the towel in it is what it is now when I had all the time in the world to get out with my dogs and I meant literally all the time in the world there wasn't a single day or night where I wasn't out I was a hungry young lad and so were the lads I knocked about with we had lurchers and terrier that we were out with when ever the chance came about but some times I'l admit that we may be had more about us then the dogs did at time I've literally ran the legs off them the poor fuckers have I learnt from that yes I sure have but sometimes we do think that they are machines I'm as guilty as the next man but now I think as long as the dogs doing the job your happy with then fair play 2 Quote Link to post
