dazzz 421 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 another question is how do you feed your dog's, i feed mine twice a day morning and teatime, if lamping i skip the tea until she get's home but at least she has had a morning feed as i dont like the dog to go 24 between feeds especially in winter. i had a mooch with a member on here once, we did about 3 or 4 hours and the dogs had a good work out so i asked the lad if he fed them when he gets home, he said no the dogs get fed once a day at the same time regardless of what they are doing. just wandering what your thoughts are im not saying my way is best or the lad im talking about was wrong it's just good to get different oppinions Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Now I don't know much about conditioning I guess. And I know this doesn't really mean shit, but I was at the Pelenna Valley hound show recently, with my whippet, and the bloke judging the whippets seemed really impressed at my dogs condition when he laid his hands on him, and he struck me as one of the judges i've met that knew his stuff, at least about whippets. Also folk out with me quite often comment on the dogs fitness. So roughly, what I do is. . . .get him out as much as humanly possible. He's the kind of dog that is always on the move, always hunting and covers vast amounts of ground when we are out. I run him fit as I can, letting him hunt up, and run stuff in the day, up and down the hills and bankings. And run him at night as much as I can. I also road walk him whenever I cannot 'work' him in a day or night, and sometimes on top of that. I don't like bikes, and I have never run him behind the car, but I let him chase the quad around the shoot. . . . . . usually at about 6-10 mph, a long the tracks, through the woods etc, often for a couple of hours. I cross streams or by ponds quite often, so he can dunk himself and cool off. . . . I intersperse this with some fast stuff, at more like 15/20 mph, something like that, flat out across the fields, back and fore, round and round. . . . . . and he really does try to catch up with me. Unfortunatly he hates swimming, or i'd get him doing that. He also plays with the hound for hours in the garden, running flat out. All of this kind of stuff daily seems to work for me Edited June 30, 2013 by Ideation Quote Link to post
lamp it luke 29 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) A couple of local-ish coursing lads i know run theres behind the motor and a few other lads up and down the country do this as well. Ive never tried it myself, i imagine finding a suitable road would be a problem round here. Anybody else do this ? How far and fast and were ect ?

I run my dog 6 miles 5 days a week 15 mph and the other two days I mooch with her and my kids missis atb works out 6 mile in 24ish mins on tarmac! just my opinion might look good now but keep that up 5 days a week an i dont think he will have a very long career.

lamp it luke 29 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) [bANNED TEXT] I season Huntin alone gud enough, as rest time is needed for rest so do you give 6 months hard graft and 6 months total rest???i fthats what you mean im sorry but i dont agree with that one bit depends on how hard you work your dogs most lads on here only run the dogs a couple of nights a week in season could do it all year if i didnt get to warm nowt hard about that.But then theres lads who hammer the dogs for a season an they end up with heads like jigsaws double figure reds an mabe run 400+ rabbits a season there ready for a break and after winding down its total rest for me!! no fitness training just 2 walks a day!

I think he means that during the working season, when working flat out, the only 'conditioning' he does is through working them, as the time when they are not being worked, they need the time to rest and recuperate. 1 Quote Link to post
