    thanks for reply, a couple of questions, if it is say a fracture what can be done if anything, and after healing from a fracture or a bad smash at 13 months would you expect a full recovery, ie will it be still good for what it was bred for, saluki whippit x grey whip, thanks once again for any feedback

    i thought how can you be sure by looking, but if you x ray and find a fracture is there anything you can do other than rest the leg?

    depends on the ground you are running on , lamping or mouching small fields on hills or in a lot of cover a smallish dog, bigger open land a bigger size 25 26 27

    Because you will have done the correct amount of exercise and conditioning to get it that way. No animal alive can be fit for hard work unless it has been conditioned. Working dogs are the equivalent of human athletes: they need to train hard to achieve the right level of fitness or they'll damage muscles, lungs, heart, toes etc if they are run unfit. Dogs should have a minimum of an hour's exercise every day in my opinion, and part of that exercise should be steady trotting, not slow walking, but trotting. A few good gallops in between and the dog is half way to fitness. People who take

    i had a kelly bred bedlington whipit/greyhound, exellent bitch ferreting, lamping, mouching, and working with terriers when foxing, bad points her heart was to big,, she didnt have as much stamina as i would have liked, always getting injured lamping when young, my mrs called it limping, when a bit older used her head more. very clever bitch, in fact i want another one when i think of all the stuff we had, she lived untill 14 years of age.

    had a dog start well then started coming away about 14 months old, that was at the end of my season, i kept him and used him following season when he was about 2 and he always stayed unless a bolt , i think some may seem ready but are not so sometimes giving them more time works

    i was told to feed a large dog pup food which had lower protein content that slowed down growth rate, it worked
  22. cantona
    dont work him till its cooler again, if something gets up with stamina it could kill him
  23. cantona
