Hey hope someone can help, ive always had labs, but they have been show type, heavy set etc.
Now i have got a 7 month old yellow working bitch, who is getting really really energetic now, very bouncy, im just wondering how much exercise i can give her at this stage, she loves to run, but ive always been very strict on her off lead time, but with a lighter working bitch can they have more? how much off lead can she have?

Thanks

If she is from working lines, maybe you should be concentrating on exercising her mind more. Half an hour of play training will tire her more than just exercise. When my working line BC pup was that age he would do an hours obedience training every day, followed by 15 mins to half an hour off lead run with a toy. That way, he never had too much exercise for his age, but it tired him out. Even now, mental stimulation exhausts him quicker than physical exercise. Hope that helps!
