I’ve got a 10 month old working cocker with the expected bundle of energy. When he goes for a walk to the local forestry commission site, he’s off the lead as his re-call has always been excellent. I’ll walk for 30 min, but he does the usual sweep in front, left to right in the undergrowth, usually at full pelt. He gets this type of walk usually once a day followed by a lead walk in the evening with access to the garden all day.
He’s quite long legged and bang on weight for what he should be and the vets are always glad with him on check ups.
I do plenty of running (normally 8 to 12k a time) but I’m put off taking him as everyone says not until 1 year. Surely he’s already doing those kind of distances when I take him for walk?
Any tips or wisdom?
