I know what is pushing up to the limits but the run with the estimate time of 12km/h is not near the limits. I can tell you that my dogs trott at the speed of 15-16km/h (they can trott on some distance even with the speed of 18-19km/h) so 12km/h is not a run for them but a SLOW WALK. I assume the times of 3:20h for 40km did already include different weather conditions because in winter a wolfdog should be able to do such distance in less than 2:50h.

If you would like to know what is pushing to the limits then look at the achievement of Eskon Foncorda which did 100km in 6:13h !!!
Przemek,
i'm quite agree with you but as you say "Everyone should know its dog and its limits"
For this reason I hope that some really expert of our breed will set the limit for these dogs. I have no enough experience to say what is the limit but some one should do it. It's just a matter of rules.
I hope that some day some one, thinking to the health of our dogs, will set a limit. I don't believe that they don't have one ... or ... do i have to expect a 100km test with wolfdogs in the desert?

Regards,

Stefano
