							Thanks for everyones help.
 
 Sadly, I decided to put him into retirement after just one race.... showed him to a couple of people and it to each of them it looked this dog was not going to heal anymore. He;s back on the chain, will be bred.

							I have only seen two or three ligament injuries over the years and I did not feel comfortable with the rehab. Dogs naturally hide injury and pain. BY the time there is a limp or it is noticeable rehab is set back. Not knowing the dog or seeing him in person I would say you made the right choice. It would be tough on him if the ligament became an issue again but this time around the :30 minute mark. Best of luck with is new career. EWO

							Glad I searched this topic before I started a new thread. I have a dog with a similar injury just nothing torn. Im considering using a swim tank to help him get back on track.
 Thanks to those who have already given their insight on this issue
