Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I've got a little walk "around the block" that they get as a minimum. If I'm stuck for time for one reason or another they just get that. It's about 1.5 mile road walk with 5 mins across a field at the beginning to empty out and stretch their legs. That's not very often though. Once a week at most. The usual walk is either a 4 mile road walk, 6 mile mooch off the leads or 3 mile along the canal. Coming up to season I run my bitch alongside the bike and build up to 10 miles, 4 times a week. Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 It's far to warm to be walking dogs in this weather they are better off in their runs whilst I drink cold cider to keep the heat off ... Come to think of it it's to cold in the winter and they are better off in their runs whilst I drink copious amounts of wine to keep the chill out ......... 10 Quote Link to post
mattyg 1,862 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Out every morning at 6am rain or shine for about 30/45 mins of general twatting around then across the fields of an evening for an hour or so. Then a bit of bike work in from August onwards....... Unless I'm hungover on a weekend then the Mrs takes em round the allotment, failing that they get chucked in the garden with half a lamb back each and forgot about......while I drink cider!

bird 9,594 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Too the pub and back the walking back Usally takes a lot longer , I walk about 4 hours over the day, plus the dogs are loose either chasing tree rats lol, or my younger dog will play with other dogs he meets . like last night he was none stop running this collie about for good 5-6 mins , t both were fooked after lol , that's got to have done more good than just stuck on a lead I reckon 2 Quote Link to post
