Chaff 3,590 Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 Does anybody work their dogs on golf courses, on the lamp not sure if a good idea or not. I have had a few along the rough edges alright just walking at dusk,but the ones that run on the flat really are missiles and were more than a match for my dog. I know the ground can be hard certainly during the summer but during winter my local one gets quite boggy across the fairways. Anyone experienced in running dogs on this type of ground?

BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 Loved running on golf courses as the rabbits fly over the short grass, as long as you learn the obstacles and know if it’s safe to slip as seen some injuries off the bunkers and that 1 Quote Link to post
Chaff 3,590 Posted September 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 What type of dog would excel on this type of ground I'm thinking heavily saturated whippet of sorts 1 Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 Whippet or smaller lurchers are ideal for it 1 1 Quote Link to post
