Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

So I know with lab puppies you should allow 5 min of exercise per month of age at a time. So say at 3 months they could have 15 min exercise at a time. Is that the same with huskies? I know the reason they do that with labs is because of the joint issues they have. Obviously I'm not going to work Akira for a long amount of time at once anyways, but what is an appropriate exercise time?

I know this was stated somewhere in one of the topics here....and I believe that is correct: 5 minutes of exercise per month in age...I'll see if I can find it, otherwise, I'm sure someone will confirm or correct.

Yes, that rule of thumb applies to all breeds small and large.

I forgot to clarify that 5 min per month is really for structured walking. When it comes to free play in the yard that can be as much as your pup wants.
