With Vinny being 13, exercise probably just depends on how HE feels. I mean, I walk Jackson every week day for at least 30 minutes, but try for 45 minutes. He gets about 15 minutes of fetch every day (either w/ ball or frisbee). Approximately 10-20 minutes of trick training per day. At least 1-2 visits to the dog park a week (sometimes more in the summer) where we try to stay for 2 hours each time. A visit over to my dads house once or twice a week (w/ a big fenced in yard with 2 other dogs, where he runs ALOT).
Sometimes there's more, sometimes there's less, but it all just depends. But keep in mind, Jackson is only 1.5yrs old. With Vinny being 13, I'm sure that much exercise is not required of him... but I don't know how energetic he is, or how healthy. Also, Jackson is 16lbs (not overweight) and eats a little over 1/2 cup per day (the bag recommends 1 cup or more, but he just doesn't seem interested in eating more). He gets quite a few treats too so that's why he eats less food. |
