I know I already started a pic thread. But santana felt so left out so I had to get some of the poor girl. The depression was killing her.
This is my house bitch. Sorry the pics are not the best but I dont have the best D Cam. |

I don't think I ever posted her running the mill. She can't wait to go to the show(lol like I can read minds), but its her favorite place to go, guess because of all the new people to meet and dogs to try and fight with and she is a dog that knows when she whens...lol Some really know when they win, she's one of those. She doesn't like running the mill! She used to love it, now she doesn't who knows I put her on day b4 yesterday and she ran just fine, guess it depends on what kind of mood she is in...lol She going to be on it today!
Here are some mill running pics tho.

I think we have sorta the same tredmill. Is yours a Grand Carpet Tred Mill? I had one but last year I had a rescue dog that chewed the entire walking surface right off of it. I left him unattended in the yard with it and he chewed it to shreds. I really s**k because Foolish LOVED the tred. I would like to get another one real soon. He is getting out of shape and fast. Great pics by the way. I love action shots.

True, do you know a website that has the kind of tred mill that you have?
If so, could you post it for me please?

| Grand Carpet mill site are the only ones who sell their mill as far as I know. You can key it in and it should come up. But all the carpet mills out there are somewhat similar here is another. http://pitbullkorner.com/ |

What I have seen with this particular mill is that a dog that doesnt have the drive, or want to for it, just doesnt run. Foolish would run for hours if I let him but other dogs I put on there would just stand there and REFUSED to work with it. I am getting another mill very soon, definatly a slat mill this time. http://www.ciurosbulldogs.com/StageIII.html
This is the one Im getting

| Sorry for the silly question, as I've never owned a tredmill, but it looks like the slat style mill would be difficult for the dog to get a good footing on. Seems as though a carpet style mill would give better grip for the dogs. Keep in mind, this is just from looking at the photo posted. I'm sure they are not hard for the dogs to run on, but if someone would explain it to me, I'd appreciate it. Main reason I'm asking is because I am looking to get a tredmill soon to give my dogs lots of much needed exercise. (They've put on a few pounds while being inside dogs.) Thanks! |

| Dogs run them just fine, but I don't think I'll be getting one of the above posted pic. I don't like the way it is constructed or set up! I might get one of Bobby Riggs mills. That mill does look a little difficult to run and you have to be careful where you get your slatmill make sure its made properly and dont rip your dogs toe nails off. |

So you think this mill would rip off nails? This is what it said on his site.
These slats are stronger and lighter than the plastic slats used by one mill builder, so they don't flex too much, which has caused dogs toenails to be ripped off, and toes cut and/or pinched.
I've talked to Tech Reps from Dupont and other companies and asked if there was a plastic material that was as light as my slats, but didn't flex any more than my slats. The answer was a resounding "NO". Plastic slats will have to be a lot thicker (meaning heavier), so that they don't flex too much, and possibly injuring your dog.
Did you check out his website about his mills? He has a guarantee and he explains very detailed of why he used the parts he did. He invest alot of money into making his mills. I wish I could BUILD what I want too but I dont see how I can. I cant physically do it now so that sorta s**k.

| I wasn't meaning this mill would rip the dogs toe nails/toes off. I was saying research the mill before you buy it and ask for references of people who'v bought from them. Thats what I meant by becareful where you get it. |
