Stamina

[Guest MOLLY]

We all hear about stamina in certain breeds/crosses of dog, and others who's stamina is poor.

My question is, can you create stamina in a dog or if it has not got it, it never will?

MOLL.

Its there or it is not, you cannot make a iron bar from a piece of shit! I can see this one getting nasty.

stamina can only be built up to a certain point ..ie getting the best out of your dog with road work ect ect ...but at the end of the if they havent got it ....they havent got it ....if you could actually build an unlimited amount of stamina then we would have need to cross certain breeds and we would be able to have 5 mile long greyhound tracks hope this answers your question moll

No - you cant put anything into a dog thats not allready there, all you can do is work with the talents the dog naturally has, shaping and defining them with exercise, entering and experience. You can get a dog fit and keep it fit by running it, but some dogs have more stamina than others, just as some will be better hunters, or faster at running, better at turning etc etc. You cant make a dog faster or have more stamina, its either in them or its not.

to me stamina, is a very important attribute in a working lurcher and its often overlooked with many people purchasing and breeding sighthoundy saturated dogs that are just speed merchants what blow up after a few hard runs, me personally i,d go for a dog that is bred with plenty of collie blood such as a reverse threequarter, or a 5/8,s collie 3/8,s greyhound , or a first cross, that have bags of stamina, and can work all day long , admitidley they aren,t speed merchants, but they can fill your bag up for you and they have plenty of brains. regards collie john.
