    Really VIGOROUS exercise is not recommended for growing pups. Leisurely walks, or even brisk walks, aren't exactly vigorous. Now, if you were running with her for a couple of miles a day, that might be tough on growing joints. I think an hour long walk would be fine, especially since she's not acting tired out by it.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I agree. I walk as long as its easy- ie not forced. Several short walks would be better than a long one. Remembering you have to walk back home again- .. Puppies have alot of exercise in the house, especially if you have other dogs. And not only is that play fun, it uses alot of different muscles without repetition.
