Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Lol at sandymere. She's off the lead off doing her own thing for most of it so probably doubles that mileage. I don't think that's a bad time for off road and up hills etc. Mark she won't pull me on the flat let alone up a big hill. Lol. The pup will pull me though. Quote Link to post
mhopton 807 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I know what your saying about brindle dogs not looking fit must be the different shade in them but she Looks good to me mate , and with you seeing her 24/7 makes it harder for you to notice Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yeh I think the different shades hide definition a bit. My old red bitch only had to look at a bike and she would look pretty decent... 1 Quote Link to post

I only do it once or twice a week. I enjoy it and the dogs enjoy it. That is a sensible attitude fellahs.... Obviously,..a running dog has to have a degree of physical fitness,..same as any athlete, human or canine...and for a performance dog, such as a racer or coursing hound,..well,..it is an essential attribute, if you want to compete at the highest level....However,...I don't think intensive road work and trotting alongside a bike is quite as important, for a roustabout moucher's dog.. My mind harks back to the regular nights lamping...back in the 70s and 80s,..where we would be out night after night,..on good nights and even bad nights,..it was addictive... The dogs got run pretty hard,...but,.. we never thought to road work or condition them.. Maybe we should have,...might have caught a few more....
