Tom,
I am faced with a dilema that I would really respect your opinion.
I have just received my newest addition, an 18 month old male that I bought sight unbseen at 12 weeks, had it reared with the breeder who sent my regular photo's of my pup looking magnificent galloping what appeared to be a large paddock.
He was pre trained for 8 weeks before sending to breaking in.
Broke in ordinarily although I was advised it galloped with a weird action.
The dog was checked over by Victorias best vet clinic - minor problems but very sore.
The dog was spelled and now transported interstate to NSW to me.
Its obvious the dog just doesnt know how to gallop !
Legs everywhere, often raising head - I had hime checked by NSW best vet, once again nothing major.
Why am I hanging on to him - he recently ran a very fast mid section when he managed to put it all together.
Am I flogging a dead horse ?
Do I give him a heap of straight work ?
Do I keep him on the circle ?
From your experience is there any tips that may help - I have had him in work for 8 weeks and checked fortnightly by a highly respected and well written vet ?
