About 3 people that own our puppies are "runners" ... One lady that lives in Ny has one of the smallests i ever had, she is only 2 pounds 14 ounces and she runs with her about 3.5 to 5 miles 4 or 5 times a week, of course when she is tired she gets picked up for a bit....
I read a book that says specifically well trained yorkies can walk or run up to 6 miles per day.
I think it depends on the common sense of the owner and training.... i am sure if you take the time to train your dog the right way and if she is healthy and has good legs she will be fine !!!!
Do not think that i was not surprized to say the least when i found out about the little peanut running.... but she is almost 4 years old now, very healthy and loves her "run" .... so i guess that is a lesson... they are small , but they want to be a dog !!!
