I have a 4 month old Pry and like to go for long walk is a two mile walk to far at this age. She is fine when we get back just don't want to cause any hip issues. The walks are at a slow pace

by: Anonymous

they say you shouldn't do any really long walks till at least 2 years of age because of stress on the joints growing, this is what I read....better to go on short walks, in my opinion, i'd hate to see your 4 month old Pyr get joint, ligament problems because of long walks.......play easy too, no jumping from couches, high places, that's what I read too:) hope this helps. Everything in moderation as they say.

    George has found the life he deserves with alumni Umka. He gets to hang out with livestock and put smiles on people's faces because he is such a doll.
