Good post Mr Jones and an interesting thread. My Whippet's just over 4 months and is 18" TTS, he's grown an inch since last month but I hadn't bothered measuring him before that.

 

Does anyone know how if exercise affects a dog's growth much? I keep getting told different things like he shouldn't run too far as it'll stunt his growth and other people say the opposite, that he needs a good run to keep his bones strong and healthy.

 

 

would like to see a pic of your pup what height were the parents???....not sure about exercise hopefully somebody on here will know...

 

Here's some recent ones from a few days back mate. His dad was 22" TTS, not certain on the mum but I think she was around 18" TTS. A few mates that have seen him reckon that he'll be a tall lad but I have no idea how he'll turn out.

Too much running will make the muscles too big which stops the bones from developing properly stunting the dog's growth

maybe if it was short of grub,otherwise no

you need grub for muscles to grow.

Apparently too much running can damage their growth plates and cos cruciate trouble but tbh a vet told me unless your working them too young it should not be an issue.So you can make your own mind up from that.My dog when he was younger used to get a decent time at the park for a run and a walk and his legs are fine so far.My bitch was worked so the guy that gave her to me said from 4/5 months shes okay so far as well shes 2 now and he is nearly 3
