[Guest TERRIERCENTRAL]

ive been told before that if you walk a pup to mutch that it stumps there growth but i dont realy no my mate had a pup and it was out everyday and it turned out fine and the sister of the pup was with a different owner and its twice as big

walking is about tonning you would have to be doing some hard miles to prduce heavy muscle

i'd say it was less about muscles and more about joints.

he said the joints would actually benefit

boxers don't do hardly any weightlifting due to muscle build up slowing them down I used to do a bit and got a right bollocking for body building whilst boxing dont know if this applies to dogs as well but there might be some logik in what your mate said Just a thought.

i can understand slower but deformed ???

put it this way if you dont walk it it wont have any muscle and its joints will be a lot weaker.im a great belever in giving a pup plenty.which is more than most .

I'm lead to believe that over doing exercise with a young dog can harm muscle tissues.

 

Just take it easy with the pup whilst its young, how young is the pup?

take it from one who knows it will get better if you dont hold it back but start it working with a older dog and let it loose with the older dog if you can .the sooner the better.

its all about muscle fibres gents. there is 2 types slow twitch and fast twitch, fast twitch are shorter and thicker for more explosive power but dont give much staminer where as slow twitch are thiner and longer for more endurance but less explosive power. it all depends on how you train your dog as to what you get out of it. too much exercise wont "deform" your pup it will just develop different muscle mass.

a pup should have nothing but training for the 1st year ,, let it grow , find its feet and its bearings in the real world ie fences all types barbed and electric , gates , loud noises ect If you rush it you have more chances of ruining it !!

What breed is it? and just how much walking/mooching are we talking?

[redeye jedi 39]

ulverston moocher boxers do lift weights, but they dont lift for mass. my uncle was the british and commonwealth light wealter weight champion in 1986. ive been boxing since i was 13 and yes i got told of for lifting weights but only because i was training the wrong way with them.
