hi from uk

hi im new here,but not to owning,working and breeding a family of patterdales for over 20 years,i have 5 dogs in my kennels @ the moment 4 of which are all same family (line bred) my old bitch 9 yrs now retired,a dog 3 1/2,a dog 2 ,a bitch pup 6 months,and a bitch which was gifted by a close friend and top class terrierman from opposite end of uk to where i am,all the dogs which are of age are 100% earth dogs,nothing more!
tested week in week out to the only available legal quarry here in uk now since the late 1980's early 90's:mad:,the fox!
anyhow over the past year due to life changing stuff,new family,work commitments ect,i can now only get my dogs excersised once per day for bout 2 mile walk,i need these gladiators to be absoloutly bouncing fit.
which now leads me to a question id like to ask,i am going to make a slatmill to incorporate into their fitness regime to enhance their stamina,has anyone used a one for there patterdales in us?
followed a link for slatmill info,which led me to the pitbull forum here,but the dimensions look a little over kill to me for my 20lbs or so terriers,
would it be just a matter of scalling the mill down to suit what i need,ive got all the materials required,just wanted a little advice before i go ahead with my build!!!
best regards from uk

hey there, just go to search in the game dogs forum and mills will come up, have a look in there to get some ideas, if they are a bit over kill just use smaller and lighter material, should work great for your dogs!

 

thanks mate,yes this was my plan,was just curious if anyone else had used one for their terriers and had a few pointers for me before i start,or pics dimensions ect,maybe if im lucky a design plan
thank for your reply

 

Welcome to Game-Dog

 

nice to be here

 

Going to try build a slatmill - Pit Bull Forums , try this link

 

thanks for the link,very helpfull

 

theres a few on here from uk with slat mills maybe worth asking them and ask a around you might know someone close to you who has one that you can try out, i know there is a firm that builds them but i think their quite pricey.

 

Hello mate,nice to see you here,i'm from the UK to,some good people on here,without much of the bitching!
