dogs in summer

howdy transplant welcome to texas . NOW GO BACK HOME !!! just kiddin i don't hunt hardly at all when it gits hot , i don't like night huntin lessin it's a coon hunt . the dogs wont forget how to hunt they will just git fat and lazy and need conditioning in the fall when you start back up . i usually just take the dogs for a swim in the tank during the summer to keep em in shape . i laid up an ol dog of mine for two years and i got him back in shape and he hit the woods like he had just been thar yestidy . if they's good dogs to begin with they will take a lay off without forgeting how to hunt .
