slipper 116 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 took my ten month old beddy whippet greyhound to the park tonight about an hour ago so it was cooler litererely two retrieves and she was bolloxed, i know she is a pup but she was blowing like f**k, she has plenty of road work and free running, the only thing i am a bit unsure of is her diet she has about a kilo of chicken mince tripe or fish with brown bread if she is under weight will this effect her stamina? i would like to try her on some green half grown rabbits at the end of summer but she is no where near ready what am i doing wrong?

terryd 8,095 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Mine doesn't seem to have much wind when his just running about. But I am pretty sure once the season kicks off and I build him up slowly on the lamp that is when he will get really fit. Before that I will get him jogging with me or on the bike it wont be the same as lamping but it all helps. Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hell of a storm here at the moment winds are swirling rain is coming down but the temperature is still 19 degrees ... It's way to warm fella leave the dog alone ... if you think she is lacking wind then get down to a river or lake and get her swimming retrieving a dummy ... A good workout and she will stay cool ....... 1 Quote Link to post
