Totally understand about the rest bit, but from what I have seen the harder a dog is worked the tougher it becomes.....it's the ones that have too much rest that seem to develop the niggly injuries.......
The sire to this litter has f**k all left in the way of stoppers by November, it don't bother the dog one bit.....come night time he is bouncing in his kennel wanting to go.
It can seem hard to believe that some dogs have had a lot of tackle, but there are lads out there with access to more game than most of us ever see and willing to put it in front of their dog.
