My little girl is six. In the evenings or early morning because of heat, we have been going on 2.5-3 mile walks every day, sometimes twice a day. When the weather is cooler, we've gone as much as five miles at a time. Katie loves her walks and also will run endlessly playing fetch. As long as you build up the exercise gradually she should be fine. Her growth plates have most likely have closed by now, so I would think it's okay, but you can ask your vet.

My last Yorkie and I walked at least a couple of miles a day, weather permitting, up until two days before she passed away close to her seventeenth birthday. Her heart, lungs, and leg were very strong.
