Hi, Can any owners of this breed tell me how much exercise should a 1yr old Mastif have a day please?
Being as he's not fully mature yet, I'd say only two to three 20-30 minute walks a day. It's really important that he isn't over exercised for the first 2-3 years of his life - up until then his skelenton and soft ligaments are still developing Hope this helps.
not a breed owner but i agree with Nicci_L that seems fine, i would of said a one hour stroll a day maybe a bit longer at weekends, and no high impact stuff like lots of running and jumping, look after the joints and bones for wnen the dog is older, and keep the dogs weight sensible
Thanks very much this is what I have told the person who owns the dog, and I am pleased that your advice is the same as mine. Apparantly the dog has been taken on a walk everyday for one hour which is far too much. Aithough he is a big dog he is a bit ribbie and does not seem to be putting much weight on. I suspect this is the long walk that is the cause. Thanks again for your advice
