First and foremost , its wise to make sure the dog is worm and parasite free. I think it rather behooves one who is conditioning a dog, to contour/tailor the work at least somewhat toward it's competition. Since we cannot do that to any exactness , I think tailoring their work to certain expressions of energies they will expend, is probably wise.So, while even a dog that seems to pace itself well may seem just right, that dog STILL will have to display bursts of energy at times during the hunt. And, I believe a work regimen which is rather contoured to this is beneficial come crunch time. I believe wind sprints to be a part of that tailoring. It's one of the few things we can do in order to condition for such energy expenditures. There are other devices and exercises which can be used for similar results, but I believe wind sprints belong right in there with them.
