true enough mate just dont want her to get to heavy and then not be able to get the weight off her for the start of the season

much easier to get a good doer down a few pounds to running wieght than to get a poor one up there when it won't eat anything. let your pup put on a wee bit, keep her active in the park and her batteries will be fully charged a ready to go at stubble time

GOOD ADVICE.

ITS EASIER COMING OFF,THAN GETTING IT ON

A 13 month old Bull X is still growing... so I'd forget about "on season" "off season" wheight just yet !! Let the dog mature, then worry about "working wheight" !

My dogs put on loads off weight over the summer because there not out running as much as they would be in season.

Dont mind dog putting on the weight,starting thinking about there weight start off July gives me 2 months get them ready for the up and coming season

I've never understood this "my dog puts loads of wheight on in summer" ! My dogs get pleanty of exercise, their food is adjusted to suit,and, although they are not in as hard a condition that they are in the "season", their wheight doesn't vary by much between winter and summer!

 

Cheers.

My dogs get rested up and very little exercise in the summer that why they put on so much wait dogs need rest after a hard season,

Everyone looks after they dogs in diff ways my dogs will double there weight in the summer

Why very little excersise in summer, my dogs are worked hard during winter months, but now they get a very different kind of excersise, lots of road walking, swimming, free running,

MY way off thinking is there body needs rest its nothing do with exercise is do with there bones and that need a break 2 recover from hitting ditches fences walls etc etc they get walked and swimming but no where near what they would get from July on wards

Fair comment, we all look after our dogs in different ways, now then i see on another topic you are looking at a 30% complete for your dog, far to much protein in my opinion if you are resting your dog up, may i suggest if you must feed a complete use this, RED MILLS TRACKER. 20% protein

good luck with your dog
