better?!?!

well we changed some things on her. so i figured i would take some new pics and see what you guys think.:confused: shes just a dog that can run miles and not bulk up.alot of ppl have told me this and it seems to be the thing with her.

 

She looks like she put a bit more muscle on. I have dog that's like that wind forever. So harder to put more muscle mass

 

You think a dog has to be tired out to put on muscle. I think not.

 

IMHO RAge still looks a little dried out, and also looks a little weak. Just my opinion.

Keep adjusting the feed. I would say more rest days, less running.

Just speaking from my own exp. i use sprinting, running, etc, just as a supplement to the main base of the conditioning... a shit load of walking. The walking, esp. when done right... will really tone up a dog, while also getting them nice and lean.

So what is done right? I have been walking China hard, she's eating raw and been doing a little spring-pole with her. She finally got the hang of it. She is just not droping the weight I thought she would by now. This week we started running up and down steps. What else can I do to drop the weight and tone the tummy. ( She never tightened up from pups over two years ago.)

 

Have you had her thyroid checked?




Shady, Rage is still a bit too dry for my tastes and IMO, looks underfed (just looks, not necessarily is. I made the same mistakes- too much work, too little food and hardly enough rest. The room for improvement is there- and a dog doesn't need to "bulk up" to look healthy and powerful.

 

Bulldog143 Who said any of being tired I mispelled my word typing on my phone isn't to great. Plus that doesn't make any sesne a dog has to be tired to gain muscle. Wow

 

Yes GSD. Had her thyroid checked a while back when we were having a problem with dry skin. It's fine. Maybe walk twice a day instead of one? I know she is not a gamebred dog, but I want her healthy and 68 lbs is not that. :eek: 45 - 50 would be good. I think she was about 45 in the sig pic.

 

IMO that dog looks good. Maybe some minor tweaks to the diet will put her over the top.

 

Congrats on the first place win. You must have been doing something right.

 

no shit huh!!!!!:p:p

 

I agree W/Jeep. Good job.

 

I agree as well overall good looking dog.

 

Looks like a Bulldog to me, and I love a Bulldog. She looks better than most, and I don't think she's under fed, I don't see any buttons on that backbone. Proper recovery and nurishment is key, when working a Bulldog and I like to mix it up according to their style. Such as, Mill work, tug-o-war with another hound, hand walking, short bursts of wt pulling, sprints and swimming just to name a few.
Shady Ridge knows all of this and could most likely put it better. Good job Shady Ridge

 

a spoon of vegtibel oil with bulk her up but work is nessersery
