a few lads I know who used to do a bit were out most nights in the season running there dogs hard ...
fox hare and rabbits now this was in the days way before the ban and were getting decent numbers for around here ,nothing like you would get in the dales mind ..
but they would work there dogs hard ,I was only young then 15ish and used to see these dogs hardly able to move the next day, a days rest and the would be up and ready to go again..its all down to indervidual dogs ,fitness ..but they knew when the dogs were done for the night ..which is the most important thing in a dogman...
