Paul i dont know how true this is as i myself have never tried it --- having both dogs and bitches the dogs go off whilst bitches are in season-- but i was told that if your Dog is running really well thats the time to give him a short rest then bring him back and he will run even better--- this was by a man  who only had dogs --food for thought maybe nothing lost by giving it a try eh? Also your comments about Midnight-Run were very true---he is a brilliant dog --like your own on his day-- we all have off days dont we its just a case of bringing it all together on the right day-- thats why horse trainers get big wages if they can do it right . like us  some do and some dont. but we keep trying

Cheers Steve yep they both are...a little off topic now, but i took my dog to a greyhound trainer today and the fella had a look at Rory, felt certain points, stretched him etc, and the little fella was screaming when certain points were subjected to any pressure, not anything major i was assured, but racing has taken its toll, so its complete rest and massage twice a day..for at least 3 weeks, so a lesson learnt, like us they need rest, but sadly they can't tell us

regards

cheers Andy, as i said it ain't serious, just like any athlete, you will pick up injuries, am just glad i've got time to get the fella right, he had a hard time at the end of last year, and it caught up with him i suppose. as i said before, these dogs of ours ain't machines, but athletes, just as much as david beckham is....hey! don't he play for england even when he's injured :angry:
