I am sorry that you met this person. My dogs range in age from 5 to almost 12. They get walked twice a day, usually for more than a 1/2 hour at a time, depending on the weather and their mood and get fed twice a day. They are raw fed, but that is because the oldest was having all kinds of digestive problems when he came home straight from the track and raw worked best. Zoe also raced until 4, broke her leg, was fostered and bounced around, before ending up with me. She is by far, the bossiest, most headstrong hound of the bunch. The youngest dogs barely raced. Goose had two maiden races and then retired. Maverick was shipped to another track and when he realized his brother wasn't there, he stopped running. (That is according to his owner. He won at the first track and failed miserably after that. He just didn't want to run.) Goose and Maverick go on a jog with me (between a mile and 1.5) 3 times a week and then get their walk with the pack. Otherwise, they are too full of energy during the day while I am at work. All 4 are healthy, happy and considered by their vet to be in good condition. They are spoiled and loved. As are yours, they, too, are perfect. You sound awesome.
