one year old GSD - Page 2

i know about the 12 but some opnions says that he is still younge for that so i'm confused

I mean what pace do you jog at? If you do 8 minute miles, then you are whats considered running.  Most who jog 6 miles a day are either serious runners training for either 10K's or Marathons, or else wrestlers or fighters doing roadwork for their cardio.

Someone who does 6miles a day should know the limits of their running partner.  You should also know in the heat of the summer a human can thrive and love the heat as I do. A dog on the other hand cannot run in the heat and risks heat stroke.

got your point Abhay thank you very much for your advise

6 miles, 5 days a week, is plenty for a yr old dog. A dog or human who does 6 miles, 5days a week in training can easily do 12 miles when they have to.

you think its too much for him?

I think the 6 miles are OK, as long as he wants more when the 6 miles are finished. I also think he needs a day or 2 of rest. Mabe take Sunday and Thursday off. For sure at least one day off.

thank you again

thank you again

Hello,

as I can agree with most said above, for me it was always very important to know how the hipps look before I would put this kind of training on a dog. Meaning, I believe in doing prelimps at 6 month, which will give you a fair idear of what is going on and then at 12 month the regular x-rays. With the results of these x-rays it makes it possible for me to determen to what extend I can go in training. Dont get me wrong, exercise is important, but without knowing what the hipp status is, a lot of damage can be done.

Regards Ulli
