Match fit

[hellyer189 93]

So we all hear about people training excercising there dogs but at what point would you say they are match fit?

[malone 1]

good point but which dog would be the fitest,a top class match dog for day or a top class one for lamping???

[hellyer189 93]

Either I suppose I mean I use one dog for both day and lamp,

[hellyer189 93]

I reckon a day time dog had to run harder and longer than one on the lamp but a dog on the lamp may getore runs in an evening

you can run your dogs on the road and walk them all the time but you wont see the differnce untill there out hunting 2 3 days a week you should have fit dog after a bout 3 weeks imo.

If your running a dog on the fens , i think it takes around the 6 week mark before you start to see the dogs fitness coming through !!!

my dogs will be running matchfit about october time when they had a full months lamping

[hellyer189 93]

How many runs would you expect to get and how long would you expect the dog to last before you notice it slowing

I train my lamp dogs the same as i train my saluki x dogs , the lamp dogs dont have much saluki blood in them and tire before the fen bred dogs , its horses for courses ,

That would be running twice a week !and thats with a good 4to 6 weeks of training before they go with some local running !!!

Smashing looking dog there would you run your dogs behind car or bike and how many miles a night would you do???

[ROBERTO M 350]

I start them on a bike for a few weeks , then i jog them next to the car , depends on the dog what i do with it , the bitch in the pic was trained very hard !

 

any one who knows how to train a dog, knows its the whole package not just the jogging, iv had dogs a long time and have only met a few people who i think can condition a dog to its peak , there will be a lot more but i havent met them !
