Keep hunting him. Night after night. Make sure you give him a drink after each drop. He will get better with time.

protien/fat vs carbs

I have read dog nutrition publications and tried to put as much study into performance nutrition for dogs and relate it to coonhounds as possible. I am NOT AN EXPERT like some, but this is some of what I have learned.
It is not the protein and fat content that cause the problems for our dogs in the summer and in stressful situations. It is the carbohydrates. In dogs, carbs are for short, quick burst of energy. Not for endurance. Feeds high in carbs and low in fat, are condusive to the build up of large quantities of lactic acid in the muscles, which in turn causes fatigue. The higher the protein and fat level of a feed, the lower the carb level.
Extreme Athlete (32-25) is only about 21 or 22 % carbs. This is good. Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice (23-14) is about 45 or 46% carbs. This is not so good for a dog that you expect performance out of.
Other things go into it, like the digestibility of the protein and fat sources, but animal proteins and fats are way more digestible than plant proteins and fats. Diamond says that the protein digestiblitiy of Extreme Athlete is in the high 80's(I called and got the results of the digestibility study but I can't remember the exact number).
Long story short. We have a dog that we have done a fair amount of winning with. He got hot in the summer, was lethargic, and had a history of skin problems. We switched from the high carb, plant base protein feeds we had been feeding( Diamond green bag, and Black Gold), to Extreme Athlete, and a feed very similar (Native Level 4). The results were unreal. He ran cooler, but more importantly RECOVERED QUICKER. We have never had any more skin problems either. We feed it year around, just a little less in the summer or if he is not getting worked. Right now he is not getting hunted much and we are giving him about 2 3/4 cups, and he is a shade too heavy. It is better to have them a shade thin than fat if you want the best performance.
Anyway, I have taken enough of your time. Hope this helps. If you think I am full of --it, I appologize. If you would like more info, don't be afraid to ask. Mike. [/QUOTE]

yep

21% protein is more than enough for summer time. but i don't have no fancy scientific articles to post. im just going by years of experience, and learning from old coonhunters with more years of experience.

I would recomend that you dont hunt your hound too hard in Warm Weather.
If your Sweating and hot when you get to the tree, you can bet your hound is alot hotter, Push a hound too hard, in the heat, and it can have a stroke, just like you or me.

hot and humid as it gets down here dont matter what you feed one the heat will work on them. will work on the one following the dog too. we hunt around water when it hot here helps them some but still have had dogs cramp up. 90 + degree heat and humid will make a dog take a break on treeing. usually one drop and if its a long race its time to head in. we usually go later when it gets real hot around midnight or later.

Posted by GA DAWG on 06-06-2009 12:48 AM:

You could probably just cut his feed in half and be fine! I feed 26/18 all year long..In the summer they get cut way back..

This is such a funny topic. I feed the same thing, 26/18 all year long. Too Hot due to food seems to be a new thing these days. Here's a tidbit of news, your dogs aint too hot..they're out of shape!

I have to agree..A dog in shape rarely gets to hot at night...I try and run mine on the 4 wheeler a few times a week plus hunt them...Makes em alot more HEAT TOLERATE LOL........

i hunt every nite, mine are in shape. every little thing that can help a dog stay cool in extreme heat during a nite hunt, can most definitely be the difference in winning or losing.

y'all just keep them dogs good n fat and looking good. im gonna stick with my 21%.

Posted by GA DAWG on 06-06-2009 02:37 PM:

I'm just proud I dont hunt those OFF color dogs..I bet they do get hot in the summer You know the blues,blacks and reds!

I appologize for posting FACTS. If I had realized that you wanted OPINIONS, I would not have wasted my time.

And you are right . I just started hunting last week, and this is the first dog I have ever fed.LOL
