I WONDER COULD I GET EVERYONES OPINION ON THIS. I WAS HAVING A CHAT WITH MY OLD PAL STORMY DOG ABOUT TAKING A RISK RUNNING DOGS ON HARD GROUND, I FELT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULDNT RISK IT FOR FEAR OF THE DOGS GETTING HURT.

HOWEVER; MY FRIEND HAD OTHER IDEAS, HE SAID IT WAS DUE TO HOW FINE A DOG WAS WETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD RUN THE DOGS ON RACE DAYS ON HARD GROUND, HE ALSO FELT THAT A DOG WORTH ANYTHING SHOULD RUN ALL RACES NO MATTER THE CONDITION.

I WONDER WHAT THE GENERAL FEELING WAS ON THIS SO AS WE CAN SETTLE THE MATTER. I THINK EVERYONE WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION ON THIS BUT MINE IS THAT IF THE GROUND IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD THEN I WOULDNT LET MY DOG RUN ON IT NO MATTER IF PEOPLE THINK I AM JUST TRYING TO GET OUT OF IT OR WHATEVER OTHER REASON.

:cheers:

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU CONSTITUTE AS HARD GROUND, EVERYONES IDEAS OF HARD GROUND ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT... :wacko:

I think alot has to do if the dog has been brought up running on any going if it has then it should be fine, if it has been pampered and only run on good/soft going then it will probably end up injured the only thing I would worry about would be if the ground was dry enough to have large cracks in it if it had then I would not run my dog as it is too easy for them to put a toe or foot out in them, the other thing is in dry weather the ground "shrinks" away leaving stones more exposed but if your dog has been brought up running over anything his feet and legs will be used to it IMO
 
IT WAS A WARM DAY SO THE GROUND I BELIEVE WAS HARD AND DRY. THANKYOU FOR YOUR OPINION.

NIC :thumbsup:
 
READ MY LAST POST .............ITS BEEN JUMPED ! I SAID EVERYONES IDEA OF HARD GROUND IS DIFFERENT. I WOULDNT RACE MINE IF I THORT THE GROUND WAS TOO HARD. SATURDAY TO ME WASNT BAD.. FRANKIE WAS THE ONLY ONE TO PULL A DOG OUT..THEN RACED HIS OTHER ONE .... :oops: THATS HIS CHOICE OFCOURSE :thumbsup:

Surely its all down to personal opinion?????? :blink:

Each owner knows their own dog, knows the fittening work that dog has had, knows what ground the dog is used to and what conditions said dog runs best on.

I know its a slightly different kettle of herring when using horses as a comparison, but a famous event trainer once pointed out that a horse could be kept forever, waiting for just the right weather/course/going/judge etc, but that old age would still creep up on it. :wacko:

:eek: I think this is one of those provocative topics designed to get peoples backs up and cause contoversy 'cos its unlikely people are ever going to agree. :- "

AND I AGREE HOWEVER; WHEN IT COMES TO IT IF YOU ARE RACING DOGS AT ALL ITS FOR SPORT, OUR PENSIONER CAN STILL BREAK A TOE BUT IT WONT PUT HER OUT FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON SHE IS 8 YEARS OLD! ITS A SPORT A GAME AND EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A WINNER, SO WE GAVE THE DOG A RUN DUE TO HER EXITEMENT.

WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE RUN THE OTHER DOG ONLY SHE HAS DODGY TOES AND WE DIDNT WANT TO INJURE HER FURTHER, THE PENSIONER IS STILL FIT FOR 8 YEARS OF AGE WITH NO AILMENTS. BUT WE DIDNT WANT TO RISK IT WITH A BITCH WHO JUST WON THE ALL IRELANDS AND HAS A DODGY TOE ANYWAY!

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE US OUT TO BE PEOPLE WHO DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THEIR DOGS IF THEY DONT RUN ANYMORE THEN THINK AGAIN, THE DOG OCCUPIES MY HOME, AT LEAST £30 PER WEEK GETS SPENT ON HER FOOD ETC... SHE STILL GETS WORMED AND FED PROPER STUFF, SHE IS TREATED LIKE A PRINCESS BEACUSE THATS WHAT SHE IS IN OUR EYES, BUT THE FACT IS THAT THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC REASON FOR NOT RUNNING HER THAT DAY, BUT THERE WAS A REASON FOR THE DOG WE DIDNT RUN!

WRONG! :p
 
I get the impression that some people thought there was a dodgy reason for you not running the bitch at the weekend,maybe you could enlighten us.Oh and i've got a question about Miss Ellie.Did she once belong to Billy Craige(Limbo)I'm sure he sent me a picture of his bitch and she was called Miss Ellie
