    Are your dogs slowing down with age alot

    My dog is nearly nine but looks very much younger which I think is because he lives in doors and eats a sound diet .He can still run hard "when he wants to " but he isnt running with the mad drive he once had .I watch some of these European dogs in trials run and man do they move .
    Hows your dogs going
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    Often depends on the breed as well it seems to me.
    We have a Japanese Akita who is now 9yrs. 12months ago she was happily keeping up with our 4yr old chessie, but in the last 6months has really slowed down. She used to need 1hr walk/run now a 20-30min walk round the block is fine. Makes a bastard of a job when I take both out though, with one tiring so quickly now. Having to do a group walk and then a "top up" for the chessie later.

    Chessie?
    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    R93, keen fella and Dougie like this.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    True that. Not as good as I once was but as good once as I ever was.

    You know the country I hunt now, anything smaller requires a search & rescue party to find them at the end of the day
    imagine your cocker trying to carry a pheasant back through it.
    Cruze can nearly carry a goat for me.
