He healed up just lovely thanks to the tips ?? cheers men
-
Happy days. Always prefer a natural remedy over shelling out in chemical based nonsense
-
Looks as though there was some glass or other sharp object in the long stuff and dog has skinned both pads on front feet. Any advice on the best course of treatment. Go to ointments etc he aint in good spirit atm must be giving him some jip
-
And mine, usually the kind you can taste
-
Cue the "bull X have no wind" comments
-
Anyway this discussion has digressed into a different subject. It started as a way to find out if anybody did anything specific to get a yard or 2 more pace into their dogs
-
So I watch him on open land. My last dog I knew was lightning without needing to put him on anything. He was fast from a pup. Was thinking Id missed something on this one which the other had, other than genetics. He looks fast, he gets decent speed but aint seen him flat out. Prey drive is evident in him without the need of running him at coneys
-
Prey drive is great. He'd run through brick walls to get to feather! Just aint run him on fur
-
Aint put him out on owt yet. Only 18months-ish at start of season. He was slow on the mature, didnt feel he had the feet and didnt want to risk injury with him being so heavy.
-
I think it is there. At times I still think he is finding his feet but at 2.5yr he should already have done. He's quick off the mark but seems to not want to go full tilt. Like he aint too sure where his front feet are and was wondering if this was coz he's so heavy up front or a case of he aint judging the distance correctly so slows early to be sure
-
yeah weren't thinking about coursing to be fair. Just want him to be a bit sharper on the mooch. looks a stonker fair play. How old?
-
It isn't butt
-
Maybe I could get him on a lure and open him up on a few longer gallops a week and see if that helps
-
Not really guilty of that. He does do a few runs with me but mostly he's free running or chasing stuff. Just feel he's got a few yards more pace naturally so was thinking there was something I could do to help or something I was doing was hindering
-
Haha that's a fair point to be honest. I just feel he has got more pace in him just an absolute tank atm put it down to he hadnt found his feet at 1st but he's 2 1/2 now so no longer think thats the issue
-
Wasn't me maybe a similar looking hound
-
This is what Im thinking maybe the bull in him is defining the addition of muscle. I dont allow him to pull on a lead unless we are running together and even then I try and keep the lead slack
-
Define steady work? Maybe I am guilty of this without realising. I tend to let him free run and chase on the most part
-
Not sure how to lean him out with his muscle content. Takes away his flexibility in his front end never seems to get up to full tilt though
-
He's as fit as a fiddle just seems to pack on muscle fast
-
Plenty. Just seems to pack on muscle
-
This is him. He's just naturally built. Run him off lead every day just gains mass on his front end quickly
-
Thought this would be an interesting thread to take advantage of all the knowledge in the forum. How do you go about building a lurcher's speed. My lad is very heavy on the front and never seems to get into full gallop. Shoulders like a boerbel mind. As some will guess he's a Bull X, so I'll preempt it all and say there's no need to start the anti BullX talk. I know he wont ever be the quickest, he'll never be out in the slop etc etc, blah blah blah. Just want to get a thread going where people can pass on knowledge and tips that they have learnt over the years, unjudged

Aint no bunny on the roads round my way

A bit
