Knowing who to turn to for help is always a good thing. In an athletic endeavor like this, its of importance to consult your doctor to be sure that there's not more-than-average risk.
But don't stop there! When I've got questions about running I bring them up to Karin who has almost too much experience and always seems to know the answers. My local vet gets questions and gives answers pertaining to dog related matters, but I'm also making contacts with vets who know more about 'canine sports' and those who compete in this type of 'sport.'
I spent most of my day driving, about 10 hours total, to and from a vet appointment and can really appriciate the importance of recieving information from qualified persons. I have a hard time understanding why I would do such a thing and at the same time knowing I would respect others who do it. For the type of assitance I needed, this was the closest (and I think the best!) facility and which justified the trip. Take the time to find and maintain good contacts and the professionals you need to do well. It's worth it!
Enjoy your dogs...you never know what's going to happen next.
