    Blackdog92, is that second photo taken just to the east of Coniston? It's been a long time since I lived there but it looks like the bend in the road where you can take a footpath off to Tarn Hows. Stunning looking dog by the way.:thumbs:

    I’m not far from coniston, in a straight line but that pic wasn’t taken anywhere near tarn Hows, a bit further north ?. 

     

    I thought you you might like him, he’s got a dash of kelpie in him...

    don't know if im'e honest I only read it, but there must be a limit as to what can mate what naturally as well.

    My grandad once had a Russel bitch that got knotted with a foxhound lol she had the litter of 6 no problem. They weren’t huge pups when they were born but soon after they grew like feck. They ended up bigger than sheepdogs...

  20. How to improve recovery?

    Thanks for the response socks, that seems good advice. 

     

    You could well be right str, but the 4 or 5 mile isn’t constant running, that is just roughly part of my daily routine when I do my rounds feeding stock. My sheepdogs do the same and they are working between traveling.

    As the title states, how do you improve the recovery of a dog after hard running? 

    I have two runners, a lurcher unknown breeding apart from I know there is a big lump of greyhound in him, and a whippet. They get the same amount of exercise, out everyday with me while I’m working so there always up to something and they get plenty road/bike work running behind the quad or van for 4 or 5 miles a day atleast. I like to think they are both in good shape. 

    Yet after a hard run or 2 Mac(lurcher) will be blowing like the wind for a good 5 or 10 mins, where as patch(whippet) will be back to normal Tongue in, in a couple minutes. I’ve been told that there weight difference may be a factor in this?

    I would like to know your opinions on this, weather it just be down to the breeding of the dogs or if there’s something I could be doing differently with them. 

    Thoughts please...
