BEWARE: try not to let your dog run too much until he's 18 months to 2 years old as his joints aren't fully formed until that age. what ever he does just playing or messing around is fine but if you're out jogging / cycling with him you're pushing him further than he would naturally push himself. Just something to keep in the back of your mind.

Hope that helps.
Thank you! I thought that just applied to big dogs. I will keep that in mind.
