Beets..How far are you walking your puppy every day?
I thought he has just been diagnosed with bad hip dysplasia?
Did his breeder not explain to you the exercise requirements for a Bulldog puppy?
Did you contact your breeder about your puppys problems?
I walk my dog about 20 minutes a day on a short leash. He is 7 months old and has lot's of energy. He doesn't run around chasing other dogs or play frizzby or ball. We don't go jogging. Just becuase he has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia (by one vet's opinion), doesn't mean he shouldn't be walked and be trapped at home all day. If I don't walk him - he is a little terror at home. He has lots of energy and it's very important that he gets some sort of exercise and stimulation every day. I've always been cautious never to over-exercise him as I know he is still growing - and yes, my breeder did inform me about his exercsie requirements. To me - walking a dog is much safer form of exercise for his joints than letting him play and run around crazy with another dog in the backyard. Any yes, or course I contact my breeder about his hips. She was the first person I rang when I found out.
