Country Joe 1,411 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 What type of exercise do you do with your dogs to build muscle etc? Need to get Lana in shape ASAP It all depends on your free time, im lucky now im retired, so mine gets plenty ferreting winter months, or 3 miles free running daily or run along the beach. 1 Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Hi jai, iv said it before mate and il say it again, that whippet if your is an absolute cracker. I also got two mike browns here, plus 1 many years ago had another 1. For what there designed for you just can't fault them, cheers hh Mike Brown gets a bit of stick at times, about not working them, the Sire of my Pup is Mike Brown bred, and im well pleased with him. His Sire takes all quarry, it appears to me if you give MB strain of dogs plenty work they excel in the field. Edited February 20, 2014 by Country Joe 2 Quote Link to post

hedge hunter 107 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi countryjoe, thats very true mate. Only one down side to them I find is that they never know when to quit or back down. Gutsy, way to gutsy lol but as you see from my pics, when at home totally different dogs, so laid back and loving its unreal cheers hh Quote Link to post

Hunting Lass 21 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 some cracking dogs on this thread Lana is soo cute Thanks MoChara Measured her last night and stands at 16tts and weighs just over 6 kilos. Her dam and sire were very small so hopefully she shoots up a little more and then starts to fill out and mature. Has recently taken a liking to the birds and would chase them until her heart stopped so hopefully will be as interested in the bunnies when the time comes Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 The ginger bullet. Does it enjoy the bungee jumping? The dog had a serious hunting accident and if it was not for BPR's determination, the dog would have been put down. The harness helps the dog. TC That particular harness is for her bungee jumping exploits mate ... 1 Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 What type of exercise do you do with your dogs to build muscle etc? Need to get Lana in shape ASAP Id just give the dog plenty of exercise... Some dogs are built to be muscly.... others arent. Cadd has always been 'muscly'... from a young pup she has had good muscle... the more she is out... the more ripped she gets. Prior to her accident... Her and the whippet done exactly the same amount of exercise... and she just shredded up... the whippet didnt budge much. 2 Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 always had a soft spot for whippets, had a couple of pures over the years and still own an old 3/4 cross bitch, no reverse gears and everything at 100mph, then totally switch off when they come back through the door, mb has bred some great dogs over the years even owned one myself before he found fame lol Quote Link to post
