check up at the vet and whats the tempature. my two GSDs flake out quickly in Virginia summer time temps but when it gets down below 60 they seem tireless
He can run a couple blinds and get two or three bites and he starts to pant really hard and looses his grip. At that point i make him take a rest for several minutes. This cycle repeats several times until he is done.
Yes. Took him to the vet a couple months ago. Everything checked out ok, lungs, heart, etc. He did have worms so we took care of that.
Too much time in the B&H prior to the bite can burn up energy pretty quick, especially if your dog is a bouncer or jumper.
Keep in mind that endurance is something that is built up, not something that is automatically there.
Try several short sessions instead of one longer session.
Also make sure that the dog isn't burning energy throwing a fit inside his crate when he's put away.

I have been doing short sessions since i`ve had him, that`s all he can handle. I would like to get to point to where we could work for more than five minutes or so at a time.
I hope your right about him building up his endurance over time.
My 12 year old deaf kreaky joint doberman has more endurance than
Diesel has. I don`t ever remember being able to wear her out.
Burning up energy inside the crate or truck before i work him isn`t an issue, if he starts to get worked up i can get him to settle down pretty easily.
It'd probably be easier to work on his endurance outside of SchH training. Extended games of fetch in the yard, for example.
If you've got a nice hilly area somewhere that you can practice at, trying tossing his ball downhill, so on the return he has to run back up.
After a few nice long fetches like that, switch it around, so he's running uphill to chase the ball, and downhill to return it.

I bet your dobe never had the intensity of this dog though and that can be very tiring to a dog. He's young so I would wonder if over time and many more sessions he'll calm that little bit to where he doesnt exhaust himself on the first bite. And that is along with what Alyssa has said about conditioning. Watch that downhill chasing though, it's hard on elbows.
