coursing man 10 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 i drink with a old timer {in his 70s}he has kept,bred and run coursing dogs all his life and his favourite saying to me is "the only way to get a dog fit, is to run it fit"now other than the obvious problems with this ie:injury,pushing it to hard and blowing it, maybe even creating a dog that gives tongue or even jacking, the list is endless ,does he have a valid point, can this be done if someone has the right expierience and knowledge of the type of dog he is running .fitness is paramount in my eyes and mine will be fit and ready for the new season just wondered on your thoughts cheers u can get a dog as fit as u want by road walking,puting them on a tredmill,swimming them or running them at the back of ur car,that will keep them at a gud level.its not possible to keep a dog at its fittest over summer unless ur running it at the back of an hare which we all knw is out of order.
