yeah the completes tend to have different type of protein (meal) in them, compared to meat, in the winter my lurchers are usally on raw diet aswell, as i find it easier to dish it up.

am sure u have noticed the down side of beef at this time of year? the flies it attracts, even when in a fridge unsure.gif


do you let your dogs get abit over weight in the summer or keep them running fit all year round ?

robert- 05-30-2008
i still keep them right in fit in the summer do a little late evening hunting but i keep my dogs that little bit heavy as i do alot of hunting in the winter the whippets can run mybe 50 runs in one night excerice like that is hard on any dog after about 30 runs the carbs will be near all burnt up and then they start burning fat if the dog has not got any it will feel the heat

yeah i let mine get abit heavy in the summer, especially since i dont like walking them when its to warm, i find thats a way of making them drop weight quickly. wouldnt run my dogs 50 times a night, but then rabbits are few and far between round me and were the rabbits are i wouldnt lamp to many obsticles i.e, rubble, clifes, a wood and loads of scrap metal.
