Wie lange sollte ein Welpe spazieren gehen (dürfen) ?

German post- about the length a puppy has to / is allowed to go for a walk.
If interested one word and I will translate!

auf diesem Bild ist Aloha 10 Wochen alt

 Wie lange sollte ein Welpe spazieren gehen (dürfen) ?

"Die Länge des Spaziergangs: Als grobe Faustregel gilt: "Etwa 5 Minuten Zeit pro Spaziergang pro Lebensmonat.". Ein 12 Wochen alter Welpe ist 3 Monate alt. Er sollte tatsächlich nur etwa 15 Minuten (5 Minuten x 3 Lebensmonate = 15 Minuten) spazieren geführt werden. In dieser Zeit können Sie keine große Wegstrecke zurücklegen!"

(Quelle easy-Dogs.net)
versus

 "Babyspeck ist für Welpen gefährlich, weil ihre Gelenke bei Übergewicht permanent überfordert und so geschädigt werden. Was in den meisten von mir beobachteten Fällen zu kurz kommt, ist die Bewegung des Welpen. Nur bei Normalgewicht UND genügend Bewegung können Gelenke, Muskeln, Sehnen und Bänder des Hundes gesund heranwachsen."

(Quelle Hunde.com)

Das sind die mehr oder weniger ersten Hits, die bei Google mit den Suchworten "welpe wie lange spazieren" auftauchen.
Was ist eure Meinung dazu? ❀Aloha 4 Monate alt mit 20 Minuten AM TAG insgesamt "draußen" zu beschäftigen ist völlig außerhalb meines Verständnisses. Manchmal macht sie erst groß nach 23 Minuten- und dann? Dürfte sie demnach den ganzen Tag nicht mehr raus? Ebenso halte ich aus dem Auto (Kofferraum)  springen für eine noch zu große Belastung.  Und wie ist dieses "spazieren gehen" definiert?
Bei unseren Gängen - ich fahre wirklich bisher konsequent irgendwo hin wo sie dann rennen darf, da legt sie sich selbst oft genug ab, wenn sie sieht das es außerhalb ihrer Möglichkeiten ist- zu schnell zu weit, etc. Meiner Intuition nach dürfte sie auch mit joggen kommen. Nur eine mini 2,5 km Runde - ohne Zug natürlich. Was meint ihr? Klar 9 Wochen alte Welpen sind noch nicht ganz so langbeinig und koordiniert wie meine 4 Monate alte BC Hündin die hier mit Sparring- Partner tobt, aber ich hätte gerne mal so eure Meinung dazu :-)

 Pizza with BC Topping 18.März 2013

Aloha fängt mittlerweile an mal die Treppen alleine zu gehen, einerseits kann ich meiner Nachbarin nicht die mittlerweile ca.10kg Hund zumuten, andererseits  um Muskeln und Sehnen langsam zu stärken. Wobei ❀Aloha hoch öfter laufen darf, runter Laufen ist noch an 2 Händen abzählbar.

 

Was ist euer Gefühl, wie macht ihr es und wie habt ihr es gemacht ? 

 Bin gespannt !

Aloha Yin Yang

Today we were meeting (human) family and the borders were allowed to do their border thing with the boys. And now: tired!
But this allowed to catch a nice yin and yang photo from Aloha with Tinka. Btw. a mixed ears day.

Ears- on the go + Tinka photobomb

Ears go up, stay down, one, or two... ha. but never to be captured.
I couldn't stand to write another post full of- ears anywhere but not on a photo.. ;-) We had bad weather again, so for a decent pic I need more than my mobile phone :-)

and again- she is growig into her ears- her right one a bit higher than her left one- last week it was a whole 2 ears down week!

Today my cam went with us and I had some time to go through the pics, too.

Thank you for your concern about Aloha and apparently for reading the blog! Don't worry she is doing perfectly fine!

Aloha proudly moving in front of Tabasco, showing of her captured goodie

"WHAT? I think it is comfy down here!"

While the Borders were running around and around and around me, I lent on a tree trying to capture them- Tinka instead photobombed and wanted to be No. 1 motive. Okay: I listen to my dogs: here you go ;-)

Which one do you prefer?

 

See you soon!

First Meal Out of a Disc!

Puppy had today her first out-of-a-disc served food! ;D
She is doing great here at the competition. She is very fond of flying discs and gets aroused very fast, but finds rest in her kennel. Not easy yet. But quite good and hey- its her very first day at a competition!
So you find today a foto of her first meal out if a disc attached! Tinka is behaving good and Tabasco - HE ROCKED!
My goal was : "please not this year the last place open again!" We'll I am more than satisfied we got a 4 th place overall at our first tournament this year! QUALIFICATION! AND first place Toss & Catch only! Yahaaw! With the new rules without in the air! Well when people forced me to go in front to get my price I had to ask :"What for?" Because of the non stop rain the award ceremony was held at a camper without good accustic. Well done super dog Tabasco!!!
Have a good weekend all!

3 h sleep till next start to competition!

3 h sleep before starting to our first competition this year! Aloha will meet great friends

Tall young lady

Look! She looks like a "real" Bc now! I told you, this puppy doesn't want to look like a puppy ;)
And how tall she got! I was more than astounded  when I had a look on the picture some time after I took it.

Ups no up to date

Really?
Yes! NO photo from today in a at least half decent quality to show you!
But you guess it: still 2 ears folded ( 1 flopping up sometimes) and 2 teeth missing and one on the loose.

Today you get a photo from yesterday ;) which shows you you how long her snout suddenly got:



Good night!

 

23.04.2013 Aloha update and looking forward to the AWI in Karlsruhe!

❀ Aloha
I am not only missing movement upwards no, bye now she has 2 teeth missing!
I thought about Tricktraining her to whistle but- we'll you know. She would have a hard time when the next missing tooth would change the whole trick ;)

This weekend we will go to our first competition. All three dogs, ✯ Tabasco starting ♥ Tinka and ❀ Aloha for company and training. It is not only the first Discdog competition this year I will go to, but a qualifier as well and a lot of great players and friends will start! So I hope I can focus on having fun instead of moaning about having had so less chance to train. We will see!

A lot European friends which were attending the super fun AWI European Championships last year will be there and Moreno already told me the "mirtillno" after the recipe of "nonna" is ready. And "mirtillno is no light" so trying this will be fun anyway ;)
Oh I am so looking forward to meet DiscDog family again! And sure Tabasco is keen to stretch his legs on a good green field!

2ears - folded

Still same ears as the days before. I caught a glimpse of 2 ears up and some seconds of one ear up. Her right ear seems a bit firmer on the lower half than her right one. But still 2 ears down. Just when I thought today about making 2 day posts one ear stood up. Ah - she is keen to have her each day updates.
;)

Who is the biggest?

 

2down- is this the final ?

Still 2 ears down - final ear position? No! Still 2 ears rising - We will see.

Night night
