A question

[Lady La La]

I took Tyson for a run around the park last night, only about 15 mins.
It was all on concrete paths.
How often can I run/bike with him? I don't want to do his joints/hips too much damage?

He's over 12 months isn't he? Like any exercise just build up gradually, some GSDs do the AD working test which is running with a bike for 20km, obviously they dogs are built up gradually to this. CC could probably give you more advice on distance with a bike as she helped with AD test this weekend. On concrete paths I would think you may have to be careful his pads don't become sore, it can be quite rough. I run Evie for about 20 minutes on the roads, she would be happy to do more but I am gasping for breath after that much, that is within a normal road walk of about an hour.

Yeah he's 2 now, thanks for the advice. I'll bug CC for hers later
I just don't want to do too much 'running' with him on hard ground, but at the same time I have a shiny new pink bike and it really knakers him out
