    Hi all

    We're due to welcome our new pup in a few weeks time and are prepping everything as much as we can.

    Our breeder mentioned to us about a 5 minute rule for the puppy, where you walk them no more than 5 minutes for every month of their age as labs can have issues with their hips and this helps to avoid that as much as you can. Is this a common rule to be aware of and do you have any experience of it and other forms of exercise that are OK for longer durations?

    Appreciate your advice!
