EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I have a male bmc who just turned two couldn't ask for a better caliber of dog in my opinion he is leggy as they come wil stick with a runner till he seals the deal with a squeal and I can catch hogs with just me and him no problem but I want to build his muscle tone some I no y'all got some tricks I want him to be a little more beefy

feed him....lol i have this same question as well, besides certain food what is else can you do to build them up

Now you no Matt he is on an automatic feeder he is welcome to 50 pounds of feed when ever he wants

lol... if he could ad a little more muscle it would be dangerous lol

I no that's the point I want him to be dangerous

Feed will help put weight on but only exercise will put on muscle. I run mine behind four wheeler some days, other days I let them out and let them wrestle and play hard on their own. Muscle is important but I think exercising builds up their endurance and stamina.  

This dog has the endurance and stamina of a marathon runner me and heavy hitter89 took him on a hunt in Alvin one night awhile back and he ran 32 miles on my garmin by himself and he still didn't want to load up and leave

i agree about the stamina,, he is never a bit tired at the end of a hunt,, he has the body build to big full of muscle but its like he either wont eat enough to gain the muscle or he just runs to much and burns his food right off

Put it this way we hunt this dog in the hills in the swamp and marsh any where we hunt him I've been hunting early morning here lately cause of the heat well around 9:30 10 ish when all the other dogs are dying to leave cause its so hot it's like he is fresh out of the box not even breathing hard no hanging tongue or nothing he just flat out amazes me

when you wanna go again man

If you are feeding him good feed, worming him on a regular basis, and he is running his but off hunting often, then maybe it's genetics  the
way he is built. Feed him some vitamins, creatine,calf liver, raw eggs or something like that. What brand of feed or you feeding?

What's the best I been feeding ol Roy but I'm bout to switch to victor

What is the point of building muscle? Dogs don't have to pick heavy s**t up, they run, that's it.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Ive seen this canine performance supplement i dont know if it works or not but u may want to check that out i saw it in my bayed solid magazine go on realpeak.com

X2 I dnt reccimend creatine its bad for us n dogs although I might give bulldog some occasionly. I like bully max pet tabs liver eggs n an all natural feed. If he can run thst much he outta be cut or its just how he's meant to b. Id switch feed I dnt like ol roy n do as above n try that. I really liked bully max

Not so sure a strike dog needs that much muscle, BUT if you really wanna put on some mass and lean hard muscle BULLY MAX Is the way to go. I was a big skeptic till i used it. I only have used it on pit/bulldogs tho.

ya go ahead musle him up hell he will not travel as well,he will slow down at the bay if hes heavyr and might get his --s killed because of the extra weight. just a thought

Manual treadmill.

Bad mouthing others and their dogs isn't tolerated on here. We'll leave it at that...

build is a genetic thing. like any athlete, the stronger they are the better they feel. the better they feel the better they perform. that being said, a little muscle gain most likely isn't going to slow him down or decrease his stamina. the way you describe the dog, he's probably not gonna gain enough muscle to hurt him. time and age are gonna put some muscle on him, that's just nature. more muscle means his heart has to work harder to pump more blood which means he burns more energy trying to the necessary oxygen to the extra tissue and it means that he will get hotter because his body is working harder. so too much is a bad thing in this case. muscles grow when they are in shock. if they get in a routine they have the tendacy to reach a stalemate. i rotate the dogs that want to make stronger from a heavy chain to a kennel. a day on the chain then a day in the kennel. i always keep the time frames changed up though. don't stop there though or you take the chance of making him tight. make sure you get him out let him stretch out really good by running him. not at a trot because he don't have to reach out when he trots or lopes. you should do this daily. your dog food will also play a big role. too high of protein is hard on the kidneys. they can only use so much of it. the victor 24/20 is a good feed. enough protein from useable protein sources and high fat so that he has something to burn for fuel. if he don't get enough usable protein, he will break down muscle for fuel and store the fat as fat. chicken by-products are a poor source of protein as is corn. the protein is there but the dog can't break it down to use it. soy is also bad in my opinion as lots of problems have been associated with it. check your first 5 ingrediants. they are the bulk of your food and the most important. keeping them wormed and clean is the other part. i don't know it all though. hope i was a help.
