Our two babies are 6.5 months and 4 months. They are Labradoodles. Ruby is 23kg and Chester is 13kg.
We are wondering how much exercise, and what type, they need. Of course they are getting exercise at the moment but I just want to make sure they are getting the right type and amount.
Thanks!
Oh at least an hour a day. More if you can manage it. I think there is mind exercise and body exercise lol. If you can combine the two great! My dogs love to play and romp and swim... anything that keeps them going.

Well, at the moment they get a 30 minute walk in the morning and a 45 minute one each afternoon. In the afternoons we try to let them off-lead and romp around but they're not really that good at off-lead recall yet so we don't do it much!
And how are they? Do they still have a lot of energy? Are they pretty fit? Do they sleep at night? Those are good signs of whether or not they are getting enough exercise.

Yeah they sleep like babies (lol!) both during the day and at night, and they are pretty energetic but not annoyingly so. Today we are having to take Ruby to the vet, though, because it looks like she may have epilepsy or a heart condition. I am very anxious and we will speak to the vet about their exercise, also, while we are there.
Oh I hope she's ok!
It sounds like they are getting enough exercise then. :D
