scalesntails 118 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Mine goes as fast as he needs to when playing in the field with my other dogs. Normally he will pick up the ball and just stay one length ahead to keep the others chasing him and not wasting energy. However when he sees prey he just turns into a motion blur. The first time my wife saw him actually go flat out instead of his playing speed she nearly shat herself! If you keep him fit and healthy then how fast he goes won't be an issue fully grown.

scalesntails 118 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Better to ask more experienced people on here but mine is 12 months old and I am only just starting to take him out but I am learning as much as he is if not more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
