Re: Keeping dog in shape
I road my dogs 3-4 times weekly at varying distances and speed, increasing distance as condition improves. I’m no expert by any means but It seems to help allot and keeps them and their pads conditioned.

Re: Kennel Bedding
I’m not sure of they layout or room but if you can find a k9 Kongo dog den there chew proof, or I’ve also had good luck with an up lander dog house which is also “chew proof” though with some hard work, dedication and perseverance I’d guess anything could be chewed.

Re: Kennel Bedding
I use horse stall mats cut to fit, then throw in grass hay. I’ve been told regular hay breaks down differently if eaten, for lack of better explanation other than it makes little sharp shards when in their stomach but grass hay is safer.

Re: Price of a “started” dog?
Appreciate all the responses. He is well beyond a started dog and his age is really my only concern.

Re: Price of a “started” dog?
The dog you describe is way beyond started. He sounds like he is ready to hunt. If he is healthy, sound, friendly, and you have seen him work and you like him and you want him $3000 would be a fair price. If he is 7 you may have 3 good years or more with him. This would give you ample time to find ...

Price of a “started” dog?
How does one know if the asking price for a started dog is fair.

Re: roading
I don’t know about a harness. I run my dog on remote dirt road while I ride a quad that she has learned to run in front good distance. (Probably not the safest). We started short runs about 6 months old and worked up from there. I figured if I’m hunting her running miles, why couldn’t she exercise.

Depending on where your coming from in so. Cal it’s probably a drive for you but I’d recommend Western Wing Kennels in Nevada. I just took my GSP there and am happy with results. Good luck in your search.
