bull101 35 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 7 months is too young for a heavily built dog like a Bull cross to jump more than 2 foot maximum. If he has stopped jumping he's probably jarred his joints, damaged tendons and is being sensible enough to realise that jumping hurts. Its not the taking off that is bad, but the landing. Don't do any jumping over 2 foot maximum until the dog is a year old: hopefully by then he will have forgotten that it hurts to land over a jump and whatever damage has been done will have repaired itself. Young joints damage easily but also heal better than older joints. If he has damaged his tendons that could take some while to heal, and you ought to take him to a greyhound vet just in case it is serious. He might not be lame, but if he's jarred his joints (wrists, shoulders) he might just be a bit sore: some dogs don't show pain very easily and unless you're an expert you probably won't even notice if he's a bit stiff on one leg, or possibly both. f**k sake mate no need to frighten the lad.some pups are eratic and do things well and then they lapse back to thier old ways if not constantly encouraged.i wouldnt go running to a vets just yet mate,catcher gave u a good bit of advice there mate.try that in the garden and stuff and im sure you will e pleasantly suprised.if not pm me and ill get u catchers adress and we will put his windows in lol how old are you again?................WHAT A BELLEND!
