How much excercise at this stage? Eight months.

Hi folks. My pups eight months now and has caught his first bunny. I don't want to run him on too much game yet as I don't want him accelerating too hard and turning too hard. I'll take him out on the lamp every two weeks or so for maybe three-four runs and then home so as not to overdo things.

He seams to not have grown upwards for about a month, he's just under 27tts, and has started to fill out. Have read that some of you guys let the dogs run behind a bike to get then fit. I took mine out for about 1.5 miles this afternoon and he loved it.

 

Is this too much for a young dog?

 

He just went at a good gently gallop, about 8-12mph.

 

Will this do his lungs any damage at this age?

 

I'm keen to get him fully fit and ready to go at 12-14 months so is the the correct type of excercise at this stage?

Don't recommend it, if still developing , muscle will build up before bones finished growing, gentle exercise for large dogs
