[PyrNet-L] physical activity

[Sherri Artz <SArtz@wiche.edu>]

Hi and best wishes to Esibelle,
I have a 14 week old female pyr and I am just not sure how much exercise she
can handle.  We have been doing a 2 - 3 mile walk with two jack russells who
move a bit faster than her everyday and she seems to really slack off on the
slight up hills (we do live at a high altitude  9300 ft) and towards to end.
However, the second we are in the house she has tons of energy for playing.
I am pushing her too much?  At what age can I begin running with her, only a
mile or two and I run very slow due to the altitude.  At 9 weeks she had
surgery for a very large and serious hernia, however, it appears she
recovered fine.  Any other advice for my new baby would greatly be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Sherri
