Elchapo 3,166 Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Got a gwp and her coat is something else , I walk her early morning or late at night but even then never further than 5 minutes walk from water , luckily she’s like a duck and will happily swim round in circles for fun or just lay in streams , keeping her out of water is harder than coooling her down Edited July 10, 2022 by Elchapo 10 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It made a full recovery and the owner wanted to buy me something which I refused .What a stupid thing to do .Dogs at shows are a silly statement and wearing coats even worse . If any of you ever see a dog in trouble caused by heat ,cold water between the legs cools the blood faster than anything .Don’t let it drink too soon or it will omit badly .Small amounts often .

Plodding along down to the valley floor, tongue hanging out, making out like he’s about to kaffle….. then he spots a roe and decides game on No wonder he was fuucked. Have to say though he’s stiff today, plenty of muscle rubs and movement should see that fine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
