[Poacherspocket 189]

Just wondered how everyone is doing keeping there dogs fit in the off season. Heres my kelpie whippet greyhound. Iv been keeping him fit chasing and retrieving a wind ball and a rugby ball plus the odd few rabbits.

Been to hot to do any build up work the last couple of weeks apart from a quick spin early doors and late eve.

Yeah I know what your saying I dont take him running or anything like I would if it was cooler but by playing fetch if hes had enough he will let me know himself by laying down and if I see him get too tired il just stop anyhow

Westy76 sorry didnt mean to sound arsy.

Worst thing at the minute for me is any rotting animal baking away in the sun or steaming fox scat and that dog has to do his best to cover himself in it.
