dog cant work

[bently]

i do hold my dogs to a high standard, although they all get a same fair shot of being able to mature before being judged. i will put him back on chain , i will make him a chain spot in grass, so that the surface dont be so hard on his feet and sholders as well

Yes it is a pain but the benefits are worth the xtra time, maybe with time he will get better but its hard to tell as i never seen him in person but if it looks like he's in pain when he walks i would assume it will only get worse. But best of luck with him. Ole Mqn

right off the chain he is fine, and strong, if u walk him as time goes on he just gets weak. but also he seems he never wants to walk. for example if i walk him about a mile up the road he will walk behind you and very slow. as soon as you turn around he pulls and tries walk as fast as he can to get back home. so i can say that its his attitude as well, very stubborn.

That is considerate of you, and good luck.

Having lots of calcium/vitamin d along with the sunlight is critical. A half-tsp of cod liver oil would be advised.



Just to clear up one last thing on my end, that "bs" chainspot for Poncho, again, was not a permanent quarter.

It was a "break" spot for an elderly, dying *house* dog ... to stretch, get sun, empty, etc.

The large kennel crate (as opposed to a house) also had thought behind it: it is hard for a dog to squeeze through into a barrel house ... especially an old, sick one.

If Poncho felt like laying down while he was out there, he could just *walk* in or out to his bedding ... he didn't have to stress himself by "squeezing through" a small space ... so there was thought behind it.

To be perfectly clear, he was NEVER left outside in the elements; that's just where he took his emptying/getting-sun breaks.

Even though Poncho looked active, he was very sick with cancer, and was dead less than 7 months after that video ...
