3 miles should be nothing for a healthy yorkie, I am sure you probably take a break or two a long the way, if it seems like he is dragging, have your hubby carry him for 5 min. The problem that I find when hiking is not the pups endurance it is the condition of the trails, several we hike have tons of small rocky sharp pebbles, when we come across a mind field of that type of ground either my husband or myself carriers Lola over it. Also be mindful of burrs and sticky bushes. I think it was in the fall but we were just in our neighborhood and when I got home I discovered she had about 50 burrs, it was awful for Lola and for me sine I had to pick them all out of her |
