chartpolski 23,116 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 So if you are running your dog 3 or 4 nights a week; when DO you feed them ??? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whin 463 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 i feed after every nite out and increase the food to the work load they are doing, when not busy ie summer they are fit but dont get all the meat thye get in winter just fish makrel etc ,some qaulity biscuits pasta rice whatever i can get my hands on tripe ox cheeks trimming s of veni bones etc rib cages , feed pups once in morning tea time and bed time ,sometimes feed dogs twice a day if there a real hard spell and they are still out alot, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,116 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 i give mine a small meal in the morning and they also get another feed when they come back from lamping EXACTLY mate !!! What a load of nonsense, not feeding a dog for two days before they work !!! Makes me wonder if these people actualy work dogs ???? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I feed my working dogs every evening, if they have been out late, they get fed when there back in. 1 feed per day. I also may give more or less feed due to the ammount of work they are doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vevo 0 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Every night around 9 or 10 pm, If I'm out lamping they won't find it hard missing their food until they're back and equally if I'm out early it's Ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woz 260 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 theres alot of shite spoken about feeding.....light feed in the morning and plenty of water and selulites over the day............the reason you shouldnt run any dog on a full stomach is that they twist there guts.......................

billy badger 0 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Mine have a feed once every night. however, if im going out that night then they wont get fed until we get back. A mate of mine once took his dog out 2-3 hours after it being fed and the dog had one run then it yelped and hunched up, he returned home and the next day the dog was dead he went to the vets about it for an answer and he said it was from feeding the dog before going out. Its because of this i never risk it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whin 463 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 i never feed them in morning unless very cold and several days of lamping at nite on game then the feed goes up some electos some horse meat pasta anything that makes them want to take more punishment, no need to run them like that now markets not as lucrative , if i take mines coursing three chases then back to house 10 11 smalll feed plenty liquids and theylll do a bit lamping same nite dogs have to be in there prime to take it hard ,nitghly ,feed the best you can get and treat them like heroes my motto Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whippeter69 88 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Not eating before exercise causes cramp and stiches for humans and i have been told it is the same for working dogs. So if you want the best out of your dog i would feed it a tin of dog food about an hour before it goes out lamping/ferreting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
