subsonicnat Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Pulled muscles in pups is to be seen as a bad thing, later in life it will come back.. Keep them happy in the garden for short play, but no hard exercise ,The muscles are not fully developed for a year or two: Do not give long walks, it will pay in later life of the dog: we all like to think they are naturals for retrieving but the dog will suffer earlier in life than expected if run hard too soon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
