@Flyblown re fitness
I use to race bikes, swim and run (ironman x4) blah blah but now I am a lawn mowing contractor - no ride on or self drive mowers all push mowers, stoopid I know. But, it keeps me fit and pretty lean for a 49 year old.
Re Izzie, she comes to work woth me everyday and plays fetch etc on just about every lawn I mow with sticks and balls and she gets run with MTB's in our local park everyday, sometimes twice a day.
She was born and bred on a sheep/cattle farm and comes from working lines. Loves a challenge and to be worked. She has a double coat which helps down south in the hills and keeps her condition on well with good dry food - Orijen.
These trips down south aren't necessary for a dog to come along but she loves it, I trained her to be an indicating/hunting dog so I use her whenever the terrain/permits allow dogs.
