maybe daft question !!
but is there a limit on how far 4 month old puppy can walk. hada lurcher and we would walk few miles every day. but heard long walks can do damage to young dogs. ???.
at the momment missie walks about a mile.

she will tell you when she is tiered. the joint isue is more for bigger dogs.

Our puppy trainer said 5 minutes for every month of age as their joints need to be protected as still growing though I think this is just a basic guideline. Beau is 4 months and we walk her for about 30 minutes though she would probably keep going if we let her
