Hi All,
We have a 6 month old energetic Irish Setter. The dog suits us perfectly as we're a very active family meaning she's very well exercised, being walked off the lead two or three times a day.
I was wondering though if there are any breed experts out there who can offer advise on when it would be appropriate to take our six months old Setter for short 1-2mile runs? After searchig online, with mostly US websites, I've read anywhere between 6-9 months is a safe age. I'm obviously don't want to take any risks but she definitely seems as though she wold enjoy it if her current energy levels are anything to go by.
Many thanks in advance,
