Guest greengrass123 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Whippets and whippet greys are the masters of early pace. My opinion is a dog has either got it or not got it only my opinion, others may disagree. Quote Link to post

Socks will you elaborate on said training and conditiong a bit, please? lurchergrrl it woulb be impossible for me to write down on here a conditioning and training programme it would take me days and there wouldnt be enough room on this thread .... but believe me it is possible once you understand how canine physiology works and what diet is needed for what muscles to optimise their use .............
