Muscling up?

[mattydski 560]

Do most breeds of lurcher have the ability, with the correct work and diet, to "muscle up"

 

Or is it in the breeding?

 

Simple discussion please, no toy flinging...

 

Can a terrier bred lurcher still carry muscle?

yes they do ,if like you say they are fed and conditioned correctly

[mattydski 560]

And another question.

 

 

At what age is it safe to muscle up a Beddie x Coursing bitch (col x salu x Grey)

 

Ive taken it real easy to date, she will be 9 months old this week... But still maturing...

Wait till she 's a year at least, maybe a little older Matt . . . . let her grow and free run with the pack for now, before you start anything harder IMO.

just my way but i never run the arse of a dog untill its over 12 months old so for example i would expect your 9 month old pup to be ready come the harvest ! others will do different but if the dog is still young like it is its still growing physicly i mean so no great rush just yet

Cheer guys....

when you mean terrier type of lurcher do you class bulls as terrier types ,if yes then i think bullxlurchers carry 1 of the most muscle tone of any breed ,if not then it depends on how much you work and train the dog

[mattydski 560]

Beddie.......

[rocky1 942]

My dad used to have a great dog he got it when it was 4 years old it was top dog but the previous owner toned it up alot it was too much when the dog jumped it's skin used to split but it was very scary looking dog

if you muscle a dog up to much, can it actually slow it down?

[welshwhippet 1]

So What is the recommended type of exercise to help muscle up a dog? Would running on sand or some type of resistance training be part of it?

[rocky1 942]

its called muscle bound ,example 1 of the pumped up freaks outside night clubs called doorman 1 hit wonders nothing more nothing less
