nutrition when conditioning

There are more dogmans who are doing this. Some are doing this for the reason you mention but others are doing it just because they want to give the dog the feeling they can feel better just because off more eating than they were eating. They try to make the dog mentally stronger but like i told. I dont love to play much with dogs weight why would you do that because you are all ready working him get to the his weight. . First you let your dog loose weight to come in his best weight after you pass this weight and at last you want to go that weight again in his last weeks. Playing to much in his last weeks. Insulin issue. Its called for a reason . His best weight.

 

We share the same idea. Its not a bad tactiek, but with dogs outside at chain this can damage your dogs kidney very bad. If you got them in your home is a effective sty of working your dogs to their weight but otherwise all year unfeeded dogs dont make any sense

 

It Will not work with cold weather with dogs at chain

 

What is your thoughts about hormonale balanced.
Maybe you misunderstood me . Underweight i mean when the dog dont get enough food. Just enough to survive. In that condition it candamage the kidneys.

 

My mistake i meaned underfeeded

 

I prefer also keeping the dogs close to their weight . Not above.

 

Totally understand that slim....my unk keep his rail thin all year round...and I just can't do that from the same reason of what I think my dogs should look like ....I'm normally 3 pds away from pit weight during the end of summer and normally there all fall so if my weight called out I'm not far away from show weight ...and keeping a dog inside during cold weather besides keeping 1 outside is a real big factor I wouldn't play with...inside is best for me

 

Half a kilo extra during summermonths and a kilo extra in winter for the outside dogs was the way they were kept at here. Thus needed a little trimdown to their true weight for the weightpull-show.

 

This is the way also keeping them healty and fit enough to start

 

Depends on what you are feeding and how you feeding. Kibble, carbs, sugars react differently than then protein, fat based diet . To really understand lems maxim stress recovery is understand glycogen vs fat usability how to manipulate the biochemical processes. Off balance burn glycogen run hot short nights no recovery. Lbs under then on the money show time once the biochemical processes is changed the dog has a full tank and little glycogen burns.

 

So

Thats the reason off using protein fat based diet by low carbs based diet. By low carbs based diet deplete the healty glycogen store in muscle and liver r. When you deplete glycogenstores, you also have chance to be dehydrated . Thats the one off many reason for using fat by protein based diet.

 

Salt and potassium electrolytes keeps the dehydration and fatty liver at bay.

 

I agree with this. Using in the right way keep the dog hydrated.

 

Like slim and AGK always say if it's working you do it don't change it up...every dogmen have there own way to make it to the show

 

What is a good dry feed that doesn’t cause allergies?

 

I also like the idea of working the dog on true weight during keep, then pre keep is for cutting to ideal weight. With that method, the dog will get stronger on match weight and below.
