Guest Iheartgreys Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks for the info! At 74# now, do you think that he will be a really big boy at his "pet" weight? How much do they typically gain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootsyCollins Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Mine is still at his racing weight, 2 years later. He runs a lot, so we keep him at a low weight. He's very healthy. If they do gain weight, they shouldn't gain more than 5 pounds or so. At least that's what I've been told.

JackieDog Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks for the info! At 74# now, do you think that he will be a really big boy at his "pet" weight? How much do they typically gain? I am too much of a newbie to know the typical answer, but the paperwork says our girl was racing at 58 pounds. When I took her to the vet the first week I had her she was only 52 pounds. 2 months later I'm pretty sure she is just a wee bit heavier , but I haven't weighed her again yet. Going by the recommendations I've read -- able to see the last three ribs and still has a nice tuck-- I'm thinking she's okay though. Your new boy looks so sweet--I don't know how you can wait until the 1st!!

sweetdogs Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 He's a good looking boy (just like James Brolin on Marcus Welby MD - which I remember from when I was VERY young ).

Guest Iheartgreys Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I am not sure yet on a name, i could use some suggestions... My current pets are Gus and Murrie, so i am looking for kind of an "old man name"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LokisMom Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Beautiful boy! Not sure about the weight thing. My boy raced at 78 lbs and is hardly that now. He looks good, can see the last 2 ribs but is closer to 75 lbs. I wouldn't think he'd be all that big at his "pet" weight. a lot of it in my opinion will depend on how tall he is. Loki is fairly skinny but he is all legs. Very tall and leggy. When we were getting ready to adopt him people kept going "Oh, wow, he's a really big dog, can you handle that?" We were scared he was going to be a monster but he's just a tiny bit taller than most males we run into. As for names, how about Seymour? Eugene? Harlan? I can't think of any more old man names right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FountainLady Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Congratulations! He's really a looker! He's coming straight from Florida? Be sure you have a warm coat ready for him .... LOL !! I adopted my first hound years ago from Florida and flew him home at the end of February. ( I adopted him while on vacation & bought him a plane ticket to fly home with me) It was a rude awakening for him to come off of the Airplane to sleet, cold wind and snow. Poor guy went from Sunshine and 80 degrees to a Michigan winter storm in less than 6 hours. He adjusted - of course. But I had to buy him a coat right away & then he came to love the snow .....

Guest PhillyPups Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Amen to that. I brought SugarBear and Stepper with me when I moved back up from Daytona (first time Sugs was north of Jax) the first snowflake that his her nose, she turned and looked at me, and if looks could kill, that 13 year old gal would have done it. Stepper has been here a while, although he was born, raised and raced in FL, when I get the coats out he still starts to shiver, but then he is 12-1/2.

Guest myjazzy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 He looks like he's at a pretty good weight. Whether they need to gain weight or not after retirement really depends on how the trainer likes to keep his/her hounds. Some like them a little heavier than others. Mine have pretty much stayed at their same weight, which is a blessing in the case of Moses, whose racing weight was 85 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
