I've got a 6 year old black mouth male who has lived a long life as a rough dog. All scarred up and white faced. He can still hunt some and catches like a bulldog, but he kinda runs "crooked" like he is having some joint pain in his back legs. He also can only hunt for a couple hours or couple miles before he is give out. He's in the breeding pen with my lacy gyp right now so hopefully I'll get some pups out of him before he has to be retired but is there anything to give him to help him run easier/longer? Daily supplement or something right before turning him loose to hunt?

Getting tired after a couple of miles could possibly be caused by heartworms...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
