Dog's.. Who'd have em?

[HAMMERDAN 25]

went out lastnight with tommy my 3 year old beddy/whip x grey and after 2-3 runs he started running half way down the beam to a sitter then just making a u-turn as if he aint seen it and coming back to me... he's never done this before and it's really pissing me off as this dog has the heart of a lion and would literally kill himself for a bunny, as soon as it moves, he runs it like a trooper or slipped in with another dog he'll run the full beam and put the game up.. he was kept off for 5 weeks with a injury and obviously gained weight.. so i have to admit he aint the fittest at the moment, over the last 9 days its the most graft he ever seen with me, but not to strenious just trying to lose some weight off him and fitting him up.. I'm trying to think positive because i dont want to think my dogs jacked, but it could be a lot of things.. anyone had this before? if so what was the outcome.. gunna give him a rest and try him in a few days.. any advice, personal experience would be grealty apprecieated..

in one breath you say he has been laid off for 5 weeks, after sustaining an injury, and then you mention he isn't at his fittest, then in the next breath you admit he has been ran the hardest he has ever been ran by you yourself.

 

i dont mean to offend but on first thought, i would say you have caused the problem yourself, by not conditioning the dog and then running him much harder than he can cope with, in his present condition. until he is giving up.

i no mate but you said in the last 9 days hes seen the most amount of work hes seen so maybe youve sickened him. Give him a rest from lamping and try again after a week or so

I didnt mean i've ran him into the ground... I mean he's been out more than usual over the last 9 days.. there was more than one dog out so it got took in turns,

rest is vital

Not taking squatters is far from jacking......some dogs never get the hang of squatters.

oryt gaz, running a big bunny and when he came back to me, had half a nail missing on of his front toes, left him to rest, bathed it and waited for the nail to grow back in, then gave him a few easy slips.. and caught the last time out, just last night has baffled me..
