So hog do tournaments are coming up... We all know it take a toll on a dog so what are some of the things y'all do to keep them energized? I've tried honey buns, works pretty good

Ive heard aot of guys that give there dogs honey before the hunt. its kinda like a hell of a sugar rush. I usually just hunt the dogs then change them out and let them rest while I used two others and keep giving them breaks

Heard this tends to make dogs run hot, any input since you use it? |

theres no substitute for having good solid using dogs.
you can give a run of the mill dog whatever drug youd like but the best youll acheive is the same dog thats a little jittery.

A chunk of beef liver or a small can of tuna will probably work pretty good...on long hunts you can see the dogs hanging out more after some long running...feed them a little something and they are ready for another long run or two...

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...

Ive never done it to that extent, for me on tournament weekend use to only have my pack and no other dogs. So I would hunt Friday night through Saterday morning give them a brake and before I would go back out sat evening an hr before i started i would give em half cc or so in the mouth then another half cc or so when i started they would have plenty of energy for the night but when it wore off they would come down pretty quick.

I think having your dogs in shape is the main thing. That being said if they've had some hard runs I'd give them rimadyl for soreness. Some dogs won't eat when they are tired and run down I like to give mine a can of salmon when they don't eat their dog food or mix it with the dog food. This will also put some fluid back in 'em. I've never tried Gatorade but I imagine it would be good to use to put some electrolytes back in their system.

I've always heard that dexamethadone "spelling" will give them a boost they won't know when they get tired. I was buying some stuff at the tractor supply that was called rooster booster that seemed to pep them up it had vitamin b and k in it. But it's hard to hunt a good dog 4 days in a row and expect them to be the same dog everyday. I wouldn't recomend giving a dog that was out of shape anything for performance because their bodies aren't fit enough to handle it
