Hi, I've written an article on how your dogs physical condition can play a major role on the long and difficult tracking jobs, and you may find it here: Conditioning your dog for tracking
I am a blood tracker from Norway, but I believe the same applies to all tracking dogs and that it is of great importance.
You may send me comments on the article (my e-mail address: ab@thetroutbum.com
So where does it mention anything about *how* to condition a dog?
He really needs all of the lunge capacity he has. If this implies that lung capacity is appreciably malleable, that's false. A human's V02 max (maximal O2 uptake volume)is 95% genetically determined, and I can only presume the same pretty much holds true for dogs.
Fitness lies not in the cardio-respiratory system's ability to deliver the goods, rather the muscle's ability to use it.
