Can I pick your brains (experience) on another aspect of showing dogs.
Recommendations for preparing a dog to show always mention roadwork for
conditioning. At what age do you start? What activities work well (for both
dog and
handler)? How long are conditioning sessions? How much is enough? What to
avoid.

I've never road worked, having plenty of room for them to run and play, most
of it on moderate hills. If you were going to road work, I wouldn't do
anything before 12-18 moths, though, and then start slow, maybe 1/2 mile
worked
up to a mile every other to third day on a forgiving surface.
