    Makes sence that, I remember going out with older lads as a kid they would just feed on return so the dog would be running all night without being fed for 24 hours it can't be right that can it lol but everybody seemed to do it, like you if going lamping I give a light meal around lunch time then a normal meal when I get back but if I'm going in the morning il give the normal meal at 5 or 6 pm and then feed when I get back not sure why I don't also give a normal meal at lunchtime aswell before lamping thinking about it lol but Iv done it like that for along time now n weather night or day If w

    Totally agree with what your saying lads and that would also be my first line of thoughts but I'm such a deep thinker about things and although Iv the right family and friends that would look after things for me n would see no harm come to em it would do my head in not personally being there for my misses n kids from being locked up or dead after somethings erupted and there would have to be so much weighing up and would have to leave no stone unturned going down that avenue, of course kill or die for your family but it's what could be left behind, it would be an absolute nightmare of a situat

    Accidents happen hopefully he's just coughing his lungs up abit opening them up so to speak as he's not used to it n should go after a day or two but as said with lack of fitness and the weather be careful if it's abit more than that and be careful of acidosis Is he in any pain at all and is he lying down ok etc, keep your eye on him as it sometimes doesn't show up for a few days, has he lost any weight especially on his back and have you been getting regular electrolytes into him, hopefully it's just a temporary cough n will clear but if any signs of the former get him on a I v..

    Aye interestin to see how others do it they all look well anyway lads, it might surprise you then that I only give mine about 350 grams of meat the day before there ran, anymore than that n Iv found they don't run aswell, I feed more on return and when proper winter kicks in tho but still not much more before being ran but like say I bang the meat n some offal in on return..

    Looks well bet it can scran..She gets 3lb of meat a day and would eat more. LolBloodyel no wonder then, you must get through some meat.. 7lb of meat a day or 7 chicken carcass a day depending which they have. Lurchers get a handful of complete with the meat. Plus 6 tins of mackerel, 12 eggs, 3 racks of lamb ribs and 500ml cod liver oil per week. Dogs cost more to feed than me. Lol If i come back as a dog in my next life i want you to be my owner. Aye me to lol

    My Saluki x could do with a little more weight on her. Would it be worth trying raw mixed with a premium dry like Akela? She eats around even finely shredded veg and carbs like brown rice or pasta. If I feed her more meat, she'll just bury it One of mine eats around even finely shredded veg too. So what I do is very lightly cook it with a bit of beef stock or a stock cube then blitz it in a food processor so it's completely liquidised. Sometimes I mix that puree with meat etc, but what I've started doing recently is pureeing raw liver and mixing it with that. It comes out as a very wet co

    The brown bitch is my marking dog, the pup (whippet x deerhound/grey) is doing ok. My point is mate I've seen and owned my share of running dogs for all game over the years and have an idea about what they can and cant do, so when I hear dogs cant run on hard ground or heat I dont understand or agree. just my opinion although Socks made a valid point.I think terrain is the thing here mate, dogs ran n worked hard on various testing terrain through the winter when it counts allows lads to see what they've got regards toughness and durability, talk of dogs that should be able to do it on sun bake

    Im sure there nice dogs and have a good go sirblessed but you won't get many injuries chasing rabbits around with that bull type and gsd dog will you and that collie X is only 8 month or so, so won't be doing much either will it..

    Nobody's saying a man has to wait for "perfect" conditions all the time to run there dogs but a good dog man won't take any unnecessary risks patience prevails also it can depend on what and were your running if the odd rabbit you'll more often than not get away with it but then I wouldn't risk one of my dogs for one or two daft rabbits il wait there's plenty of time, in aus you have no choice unless you run on peat, your dogs have had to adapt to climate and ground conditions same as the farm dogs etc that work most days but obviously there not running dogs... itscompletely different with to
