WHEN WOULD IT BE SAFE TO JOG WITH MY 7 MONTH OLD PUPPY? IS HE TO YOUNG FOR THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY?

I think it would depend on how far you're jogging and how active your puppy is.

Also please keep a eye on his pads of his feet, if he is not use to the surface he could get blisters.Cindy

You shouldn't do forced exercise until they are full grown, which is about 2 yrs old. It is too hard on their bones and joints and could cause problems down the road. Your puppies desire to keep up with you will keep him running when normally he would quit. Very short jogs would probably be okay, but I would keep them very short.

I take my dog with me on my short runs when it is not too hot and he loves it!The key is to make sure that they don't become overheated, but I've taken him 6-7 miles and at the end he still wanting to play and seems bored. He is 9 mos. now and we started running about 2 1/2 mos. ago. Angus has never had any pad soreness, but we run on a combination of grass and sidewalk. Hope that helps!

Hi. Yes Angus is a plain face (black mask) he has a teeny tiny bit of white on his chin, a bit of white on his chest and a bit on his paws. He is quite handsome in my unbiased opinion.

As a matter of fact Robyn, my Angus and your Cooper could be long lost brothers!!! I just saw your pictures on your website and he is such a handsome fella! Angus is a red fawn as well, and has that same expression Cooper has in his picture. Too bad you don't live in NC, Angus loves new friends.
