Hyper or High Energy Dogs

Yep…you can’t put in what isn’t there to put in…

Way back before the city inherited the forgotten beach and created rules and regulations…
the kids were in school, and my wife worked and because I worked twelve hour shifts I had more time to hunt and also to take the dogs out to watch them run, hunt and swim along the beach…no hogs behind the beach dunes back then…we have quite a few now and the rattlesnakes are as thick now as they were back then…

I had two half brothers about the same size and weight and both were well made…my stud dog Buck was well muscled…but the 1/2 brother Smoke was hard muscled and a little on the hyper and he always had an appetite…I described smoke as having an extra shot of testosterone because he was hard muscled and always looked to be in shape even in his older age…

I tested their speed and stamina as I did all my dogs at the beach…I noticed their speed was about the same…but the stamina was not…Buck would start fading and Smoke would dig deep and maintained his speed…once I saw this I slowly eased my speed and let them pass me up and then I stopped…in their minds they knew they could beat the truck once they passed me they just brought me to a stop…that was their mindset so we played the game…I stopped and let them catch their breath…the race was on when I gunned the engine twice…that’s how I trained them to road in front of me…and I learned more about my dogs doing these things…

One day I went quite a ways out of town to hunt and while I was visiting before coming back those two broke out in a fight in the dog box…by time I found out Smoke had the upper hand…he had that extra something that gave him the edge…I actually named him Thunderheart but called him smoke…
