| How far is too far? How long of a walk is too long? I'd love to take Brady with me on my morning walks but I'm worried that I may be going too far to take him. How far should be enough before he needs to go home? |

| I usually take mine back home when they start panting really really bad or start trying to lay down.

| Lucy has a hard time keeping up with my bigger Westie; he can walk 3-4 miles and still want more. That's a little far for her; I can see her start panting or trying to turn around and head back for home or for the car. I hate to leave her home so she goes along and I carry her part of the way. I can tell she's tired when she allows me to carry her for a while. Then she gets restless and wants down and walks some more! If I see her getting tired again; I just pick her back up and give her a ride for a little while. She's only 5 lbs so it's easy to carry her when she's tired.

| I walk for about an hour twice a day. I'd like to do more if I could get the time. I just didn't want to do anything too strenuous on him. He's pretty hyper but an hour might be too much. I really have no idea though. |

| Jackson can walk for quite a while. I've only seen him get tired once or twice on those REALLY hot days. But generally speaking, he can easily go 5-6 miles and be okay. My friends 6lb'er can also go this long without tiring. We walk an hour per day.
