She is a very pretty bitch, beautiful, but to be perfectly honest she looks a little dry/flat/listless to me.

It is hard to tell from a photo though, and the lighting is bad, so maybe she is just real mellow.
The reason I say this is because she's not even at the full end of her chain.
I can't think of too many dogs I have photographed that aren't fully at the end of their chain, leaning into it.
She is supposedly in top form, and yet isn't even enthusiastic enough to get to the full-end of her chain.

Also, shame on you for using a cheap bullsnap and not a swivel; that is how dogs die in kennel wrecks

Not trying to be over-critical, but you posted a photo as an example of bringing a dog under, and then back up, and to be perfectly honest your bitch is just "standing there" and it looks like she has no pizzazz to her whatsoever, which is what I would expect from that style of conditioning: a flat dog.

Just being perfectly honest with you sir.

Thanks skipper,Nash, and Top shelf. "She is a very pretty bitch, beautiful, but to be perfectly honest she looks a little dry/flat/listless to me" Thanks; shes a good looking and well structured animal but she is not dry. I would never bring my dogs in dry. Her skin count is half a second. But yes she does look exhausted due to us just got done walking for 3 hours(12 mile walk)then had her on what i call a quicky(cable run) area for my dogs to empty. "It is hard to tell from a photo though, and the lighting is bad, so maybe she is just real mellow" yes she is a very mellow dog some what timid at times when I raise my voice but a beast in the box. Her sister

She is my house dog and stays inside of the house. My outside dogs have set ups like the ones from your book(where I got it from)"Not trying to be over-critical, but you posted a photo as an example of bringing a dog under, and then back up, and to be perfectly honest your bitch is just "standing there" and it looks like she has no pizzazz to her whatsoever, which is what I would expect from that style of conditioning: a flat dog." I don't mind being criticize cause it'll only make me better. Yes she does look a little drained out but 4 days of rest will make her feel a lot better.

Yes, it was definitely just honest opinion, because she was just "standing there." The prime dogs I am used to seeing are usually "eyes-bulging" ready.

All that aside, I sure hope she does well for you

i personally beleive that there is nothing wrong with the cornflakes and also they were used as the cheapest most easily digestable form of carbs, which they are, but bill also used fats such as flaw oil and coconut oil and knew that fats not carbs are what animals use for energs but those carbs are used in the first fifteen minutes of the work out then the fats kick in and i still beleive carbs are needed just in low percentages not high like humans need. u also have to understand that bill was putting a keep out there that was cheap and successful and he knew that cornflakes were not the best thing out there for carbs but the cheapest. you also must understand like jack said about the old man bill lnew two things no keep is good without the right weight and the right dog
