Too sag or not too sag: I say a slight sag works good for me. too much tension and it retards the free flow of the carpet. I like it to slip just a touch.

I been building and conditioning match bred dogs since 1974. I've met all of the great dog men and matched into them also. Leo, Maurice, Floyd, Gaboon Trahan, Drew Farve, Jerry Clemons, Bert Sorrells, just to name a few.

 

Cool video. How long do they get to run on the carpet mills?

 

Good stuff also How hard is it to build that turntable ?

 

check out this video looks like a great work this guy seems to know his stuff K9 Carpetmill and Turn Table Fitness Training, Equip 2 Endure - YouTube

 

This is my video about 5 months ago.....Primitive Supply

 

Never exceed 55 min on the carpetmill. The turntable is 30 min before, and 30min after. Of course that is just the work part. I won't mention all the other things that need to be done in order to bring a dog in right.

 

I want to try and build a turn table. Does anyone have a blue print or any other help that I can use to build one. Thanks

 

I bought one from you over 18 years ago! The best mill I have ever owned!! It has worked countless winners. It is defiantly an edge to have on your side!! Keep up the good work. Are you still selling them?

 

Hey Chain Weight, I have wondered how you have been doing. Good too hear from you and that the carpetmill you bought from me 18 years ago is still working well. I am still using the same mill that I built for myself some 30 years ago. I have changed the carpet on it several times, but the frame and the bearings are just like new. I have used that mill on many matches and have never been outshaped. I am still selling the same carpetmill. Thaks for the message. Primitive Supply

 

that thing looks like hell lol

@Laced Wit Game: The TurnTable that looks like hell lol

 

I have a Grand Carpet Mill, the belt is sagging just a touch it runs sweet, I use a drop of kerosene on the board to help it run. I only give the dogs a small amount of time on it for power work for sprints and long running I use the slat mill. I've only ever seen a turn table used once and noticed how hard it is for the dog to slow the momentum down from a hard sprint compared to a slat mill. A friend of mine is in the process of building one so it'll be interesting to see how it works for him. Here's a vid of my dog on my mill.

Guess LWG was right. not only does it look like hell it works like hell too. Unnatural as all get out...watch that dogs movement.

it works well for me and my dogs P.S

 

yeah ill say that the second dog did make it look a little better....its just if you look at the movement of the dog as it runs...its akward...........and the surface still slightly wobbles.....with that, what is it doing that the jenny or slat isnt??

 

@the.peon: I would be honored too see your training equipment, i.e. carpetmills, slatmills, turntable, flying jennys? Please show us your dogs working your equipment.By the way I have a nice flying jenny, I don't use it very often, and a slatmill, that I only use occasionally. I prefer my carpet mills for the endurance they provide, and the turntable for the warmup and cooldown.... peon: Thanks for you words of support
