Hullo all! Here posting questions again.
I now have my pup, his name is August and he is 13 weeks old (14 weeks on thursday) and he is a very sweet-natured little guy who has yet to really understand things like 'playing.' He is tired most of the time, but still very bright-eyed.
My question is, when should you start walking a Cavalier? I honestly have no clue, and at the moment he definitely seems way too small. (He also has a habit of trying to avoid walking, and will drag his back legs if it's a short distance (they seem fine though), which we've been nipping in the bud.)
At present it has just been a case of taking him outside regularly (only got him yesterday so he has yet to go to the toilet outside, only went during the night), where he will just sit on the grass and look puzzled.
I'm wondering what sort of age he'll start to be more active so that I can start taking him on short walks, slowly building them up?
(Also, present feeding him 20-30g of dry food, three times a day - making it less if he doesn't want to eat it all. Does this sound okay?)
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Here he is! (He seems rather long-muzzled to me, but his parents were lovely.)
