Eager for the weather to clear up ?

[Tally Ho Hunter 60]

Hi all you have to admit that for now these big dogs of ours are really craving it a bit ehy, with the only work going for them is the work produced by our little dogs but the question i ask is what do the people on here without terriers do to amuse there dogs in such a prolonged frost?

[Guest deerhound hunter]

[ruby jet 184]

Yes i agree,mine are only a run or two from being a hundred % thanks 2 being out with the terriers,that and the fact i was... em" snowed in last week" .A good few 6hour mooch`s.last week.There again im not afraid to let mine do abit,I just try to advoid any fast game.I find mine more than able to do a bit.When you think the ground was like a rock in september,and has been for two weeks now,the dogs have to do a bit.

very solid and cant find enough time either but we all do our best

to keep their fitness up its a shame everyones dogs just getting to

I couldn't of timed it better! lol got my bitch's Dewclaws removed 3 weeks ago after she damaged one again, so I haven't been able to let her off the lead anyway. So by the time the grounds softened up again, she'll bit fit to burst and raring to get out!.

dogs enjoying the rest to be honest any wee niggles they have had get a chance to heal..cant see it clearing anytime soon up here

[andyrose 8]

still got 2' of snow here with a nice crust of ice on top so mostly road work, typical, i'm a gardener so can't work, all the time in the world and unable to work him just my luck

[bullcross1 10]

Bit of a funny 1 but round by me you can bolt just as many rabbits with a terrier for your lurcher to chase and catch as lamping so why not just lamp your taking just as Many risks as lamping them around here as bolting them so I just lamp them my dogs seem smart enough not to run stupid and respect the ground there running on they just run at half pace, always done this and never in 10 yrs had a problem with injures, as long as the dog has the brain and education there fine, just my opinion

Wish mine did mate.....just got my pup on the button and bang!!!full moon followed by 3 weeks house arrest by old jack frost.and my old dog was flying too but I definately dearn't run him cause he would surely smash him self into little pieces.he's good on all terrain wether its Grass,scuff or plough but just never seemed to learn to take it off the gas when its hard underneath.

It'll take me the best part of a fortnight to get them both back to scratch when the thor comes but hey ho not alot I can do about it.

road walking for me

[collie/grey 238]

Just casual easy mooching during the day and a good amount of road work, it's all i can give them in this weather as i work from 8-5 most days so this time of year i rely on the lamp to give the dogs a good run out a few times a week, season will be almost over by the time this bleeding ice pisses off!!!

[malc1 544]

me and my dog are still out at night

[donkdaniel 236]

hunting up in the forestry that keeps them fit usually come back jelly legged lol
