I'm new on this board. Our little pup is now 16 weeks old and we take her for a 5-10 minute walk around the block once a day. She also gets plenty of exercise racing around the garden and having puppy crazies.
When can we start taking her for longer walks, and how long? The vet said "when she's full grown"--we live in a small town and cavaliers are not very common around here, so while the vet is fully aware of things like heart disease and cavaliers (he made sure to ask us if we knew about it when we first brought her in) he couldn't give us a more specific answer. All the reference books I've looked in talk about taking it easy when the pup is small, but no further advice-nothing is really cavalier-specific.
Thanks!
