I've been running early in the morning around 6:00 runnem for a couple hours. I try to run 5 days out of the week. They are my younger dogs that i'm getting ready for this fall's trialing season.

Only running early mornings here. Like to get back home before it gets hot. My dogs are a lot like me--we prefer the cooler weather.

I been running at night. 8:30 to 11:00 or so. Ran from 8:00 am to 11:00 am Saturday. I always carry water with me though and give them a drink. Like to let them cool off in a creek or pond between jumps if possible.

I am running 2 or 3 afternoons after 7:30. It is so dry now I am having to carry water. One of the creeks where I run has completely dried up. I ran last Saturday with a buddy from 7 am til 9 am. The dogs run good in the cutovers or woods ,but the rabbits run the dusty logging roads to throw them off. One could not stand the pressure Saturday and ran out in a cracked baccah field and that race was over.

I'm running only after it rains. I'm working a couple of pups and some young ones from last year. It's humid, hot and dry. We had a nice storm on Sunday evening. Rain, thunder and lightening. It ran me out of the woods. I dropped them first light Monday morning. What a beautiful chase. I'm still hearing it. I'm waiting for the next storm, then I'll play side II.

been running alot but it has been late night early moring hours from midnight to 4or 5am and it still warm at that time of night.

ive been running about 30mins.-hour at around 6 in the evenings mainly to just let them out of the kennel alittle...just way to hot around here...weather said the index was 110 today and it was 87 at 6 this morning...im not trying to let another one of my dogs die of a heat stroke again

I have been runnning only on the weekends in the morning. I start about 4:30 to 5 in the morning and run until about 8 or 9 depending on the humidity.

I have been running on the weekend from about 6:00am to 11:00am sometime I quit a little early if their is not a good dew on that day I have also had to take water with me at a couple of my spots. its been close to 100 degrees here on up in the day.

A little in the mornings,5 to 8 am 2 days a week,just enough to keep em tuned in.

been runnin 2 to 3 evenings a week and usualy from aout 6pm till 9.30pm this is the most i have ran my dogs in the summer ever and it is really to hot for a fat man and maybe even a fat dog although they are not as fat as they where when i started........
