Conditioning only on a Raw feed diet or a Kibble with Supplement added diet?

Thank you very much S_B. I learned a lot from that transplanted Texas Marine that I met up at Mr. Teal's place. He was way ahead of his times. LOL Over time though,I found out one can not just blindly use another person's work keep/feed keep. IMHO there are too many variables in different peoples life styles and climate locations. One has to work out a work keep/feed keep around their own work schedules/ life styles and the basic climate area they live in. Very possible a feed/work keep used with success in S.C. may need to be changed or adjusted say in a dry climate like in Texas/Mountainous area where air is thinner or a extra hot humid place like Louisiana.

Why it is much harder to travel over 500 miles to another dog persons back yard and win. When Lonzo Pratt beat a winning dog of Leo Kinards with his Mike dog. Lonzo had a friend airplane pilot and they flew in close to the dog show arena around three or so weeks in advance. Finish peaking the Mike dog right up under their noses. This allowed his Mike dog to get more use to the climate change. Pratt's Mike was a fresh butt kicking dog when the command to release your dogs was given. Rest is dog history on that event.

In my part of the woods a extra large round table under a weather proof shed was much more reliable than a swinging jenny. Even if I did like and prefer a Jenny. I had one 80 feet long with a excellent running track. The dogs that would run it,(most would not) did not like the freezing blowing wind or half froze water in the track or the scorching sun/ heat plus high humidity. No more than I did. LOL Never had a first time dog or even puppies that did not like running a big round table. Was like a hamster in a squirrel cage event. LOL Overtime going around to various known dog person's yards. Would usually see a big round table that was at least used as a bad weather back up along with a free spinning tread mill or carpet mill. Note James Crenshaw had that extra wide well built (probably German made) treadmill up on his back yard porch.

Said all this to say this. Try to learn how to work a dog in the best time efficient way one can afford. Or will end up working themselves to a frazzle. Will not be long before the person or the dog will be wondering who is working who. LOL

Need to get back on subject. Cheers
