exersice how much is to much

[longarm 2]

this is the amount of exersice my 4 year old deerhound x gets on average.....

morning 10 minute walk round the block befor i go to work 6 days aweek

afternoon 10/12 mile walk trot behind bike along the canal twice a week

worked 2 sometimes 3 or 4 times a week, day or night some nights the dogs working very hard

rested 3 days on average

if shes had a hard week of work i dont bother with the bike work,

all this is really is a average, extra days are given to rest after hard work & injury,

this amount of work and exersice seem to keep her in tip top condition although some times i think im over doing it with her, obviously different breeds need more or less than this

My quetion is do you think this is to much?

what do your exersice and work ragems consist of

 

kind regards

Should be a good thread this

[KingKong 44]

out normaly 3 times aweek depending on the weather ground ect then just plenty of free running around a golf corse were they get the odd run on summit witch keeps them happy

[rocky1 942]

they come everywere with me school runs ,shops ,family members,aswell as their normal 5/7 mile bike ride most days if lamping then just a strench over thr fields ,mooching up 10/15 miles on a weekend ,lamping at least 3 times a week ,it seems 2 keep my dogs in tiptop condition

[lurcherman 28]

Lamp 2/3 nights a week and have a couple of hours mooching most days before/after work, aslong as there fit, every1 has there own methods, cant beat lamping to get/keep a dog fit IMHO,

LOTS OF ROAD WALKING ,BUT START THE REAL FITTING UP A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS ,SO THEY PEAK AT THE RIGHT TIME

mine are out every day for a five mile walk come rain or shine only time there not is when there in season but even in the summer there out every day just to keep them half fit the only time thay get off in the season is if there in sick bay or maby if its been a long nights lamping the night before then i just take them for a short walk (about a mile) morning and night atb

so you wont keep them proper fit all year round Im saying if youve had a hard season I know some folks like to then take them to the shows were there racing ect how much lay off do you think your dogs need or does it not matter aslong as there always fit can it not be too much for them

im just saying thats what works for my dogs and thats the best way ive found to keep them sharp and in shape alot of the work thay do in the off season in road work but as the season gets closer i up the road work for about 6 weeks before i start them lamping i do show mine sometimes but i dont race them as i dont realy see the point if the dogs quick enough to catch what im sliping it on thats good enough for me mate

duering the summer i useally fly 1 of my hawks through the moult and do a fare bit of lamping in the horse fields with the hawk, so the dogs work load is probably halfed, i would say i do more road walking and mooching in the late afternoons Edited January 13, 2011 by longarm
