wuyang 513 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Mines 11 and still comes with me mooching about with the pup, she works at her own pace and walks along side me a lot of the time.....She's suffering on her back end now and struggles to get out of her bed after she's over done it, but i got some tablets off the vet to help if need be, but I can't imagine not taking her.

Monte Walsh 0 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 It depends on the dog and on what standard of work you expect. If fit and relatively uninjured (not that common if they've been worked hard for years) my personal experience is they don't start going backwards till 6'ish but will still be running well up to 7. Beyond that it starts to show. Pre ban I had a bitch coursing at 10 years but she'd only run one single handed and wouldn't run if slipped again. Unless there was another dog in which case she knew the odds were changed and would give it her best shot, but did run very cunning letting the other dog do most of the work. As with people it takes all sorts and some will never give in even if they've got next to know chance. Quote Link to post
