glad your dogs going to be ok woodga, There/s alot of lads run there dogs on the lamp & still course them, find the right ground it shoud be ok for lamping, you get the same problems in winter with the ground being hard, frost.

well said

 

Hard frosty ground hey,what they havnt even got the sense not to run on hard frosty ground.

As a mattter of fact I know most if not all coursing clubs lurcher/saluki or greyhound would postpone meetings if the ground was to hard and frosty.

I dont wrap my dogs in cotton wool Ive had a few dogs killed or badly injured but they were accidents.Running dogs purposely on baked or hard frosty ground wouldnt class that as accidents would class it as idiotic.

kane piss off u idiot :realmad:

[Guest JOEB]

First of all I think we are all glad that WOODGAs dog will be ok

 

I dont allways agree with KANE, but I think this forum would be a boring place without the KANEs of this world.

As I said, I have no opinion on the rights & wrongs of working dogs........YOUR DOG, YOUR RULES.

 

But If you post in a public forum, you can expect public opinion, and you may not allways like what you read.

 

Not that I agree or disagree with him, but my respect to KANE for speaking his mind

who is on about running dogs on hard ground the ground is marsh ....marsh ....soft ground and a cool evening not in the middle of the day on a hard baked field

Kane ,not getting at ya mate, but the lads would not do much lamping in the winter, last winter it was very hard ground down here , 6 out of 7 nights, it must have been bad up north.

King the post started off as grass with a heavy dew...then a couple of posts later its soggy marshland.

I can read between the lines.

The running of dogs at this time of year is amateurish ,and sadly dangerous to the dog, no ammount of name calling or support from other site members will change that.JMO

Do these types of injuries occur often with Long dogs? some people at work have got ex track greyhounds and they've always got bad feet, tendons etc

.I heard saluki's were supposed to be quite sure footed dogs but the greyhound needs near snooker table terrain to go properly? Do crosses suffer with the same probs???

Get out and lamp on it then but dont ask for symaphy when your waiting for the diagnosis from the vets.

Knowing when not to slip a dog is just as if not more immportant than knowing when to.

at the end of the day its up to the owner of the dog what he or she does with there dogs i dont really care what people do its up them but whats the point in giving someone shit for doing what they want to do all the best to everyone what ever they want to do

Generaly the faster the dog the more foot tendon injurys it will get,if you realy want to smash a dogs feet run it over frozen or dry baked ground sooner or later something will snap.

[king 12,030]

bollocks to this shit talking im off to clean the ferrets out

[Guest JOEB]

I think that you are in the South East Kane......would you consider the ground to be soft enough after the rain of the past couple of days?

I personally would not run on clay at the moment, but would consider grass that is firm but with a touch of bounce (if you get my meaning)

Thats if I felt like running the dog!

Genuine question fella

PS. This is a theoretical question, given that conditions are not allways perfect, what are your personal minimum requirements.
