Is there a such thing as too much play time?

I know when people come on here and ask about exercise, everyone says no long walks yet which got me thinking...

Should I be limiting the amount of romp/play time with Yuki? They're outside several times a day (for not too long) just running full force and going at it. ...and long enough to make me dizzy from all the running around the shed playing chase. I wasn't sure if this is different than taking a long walk to their joints?

I realize the question is probably retarded, but I wanted to make sure I'm doing things right.

Did any of you tell the dogs to come in due to "excess exercise?" :?

when my two were puppies one always tired out before he other and I would have to call time (she didn't want to let him rest :) )

If Yuki leaves him alone when he seems tired I guess it isn't a problem. but I would keep them seperate as well fromtime to time.
IMOP it would be the same I would think. Good question...where are the experts when you need one.
Owen takes a mandatory nap every evening between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. after playing from the time we get home from work. If he doesn't he starts getting fussy and bitey. he goes down for half an hour and then plays until about 11:30. Every once in awhile during the day I enforce breaks if we're home, too. He needs it.
I dont think its a retarded question at all.
I wondered the same thing myself when Tiggy was a puppy and going wild with our dalmatian. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Unfortunately I hadnt found this site yet so couldnt ask.
I thought about calling her breeder but decided that our back yard is so small she couldnt really overdo it and just walked them seperately a lot.
I will be interested in the experts opinions though :)
OHHHHHHHH WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS TOGETHER !!
