running with a puppy
I am new to this forum. My Christmas present was an OES puppy, Dino; he is currently 4 months and weight 40 lbs. We absolutely adore him. He is my first OES puppy. He loves going on walks and I love showing him off. I enjoy running (3 miles each day), it is ok to run with him now? 
thanks, Yessy |

| he's way too young for that much running. Even walking that far at 4 months is not a good idea. |

I agree. I don't know all the ins and outs of it, but it has something to do with the stress it would place on the joints and bones as they grow - it can really cause some damage. It's hard to resist, but really necessary. Hang in there for a bit, you'll have many years to run! |
Agreed. He's much too young for that much excercise.  You'll need to work him up to that very slowly. Right now, he's growing and while he needs excercise, too much can damage his joints and growing bones.
Welcome to the forum.  Glad you've joined us. Dino looks like a real cutie pie. |
