Building Lurcher's Speed

[Maximus Ferret 2,055]

What's he too slow for? He'll obviously never make a coursing dog but looks plenty fast enough for ferreting, lamping and that kind of stuff. The young dog I've got on now is pretty heavy through the shoulders and neck but he's doing OK.

yeah weren't thinking about coursing to be fair. Just want him to be a bit sharper on the mooch.

looks a stonker fair play. How old?

Get him fixed on a ball, then build up ball work for short sprints to maximise speed and quick repeats to improve  recovery.  Mix in longer runs to help stamina.

When you want the dog to run his fastest..

Smear a bit of deep heat on his bumolio 1 min before the run..

Black neck told me that trick..
