這是兩週大幼犬的X光片

看看關節在發育完全之前，骨頭間的距離有多遠。

這是為何你永遠不應讓幼犬跳躍、上下樓梯、過度運動或過度訓練的原因。

幼年進行這麼劇烈的活動將導致成年之後的嚴重問題，甚或年紀還輕時即出現，因為幼犬的髖關節發育不全及其他骨骼疾病正不斷增加中！

謹記：幼犬規則是每長大一個月增加五分鐘的活動量！以兩個月幼犬為例，牠每天只需要十分鐘肢體活動，六個月幼犬每天只需要三十分鐘的肢體活動！！

＊肢體活動包括：散步、訓練、玩拾回、奔跑、和狗玩等。

請享受養隻新幼犬的樂趣，但要記得你不會迫使六個月大的人類嬰兒每天跑一英哩，所以別強迫你的幼犬這麼做！

This is an X-ray of a 2 week old puppy.
Look at how far the bones have to grow before they become a proper bony joint! This is why you should never let puppies jump, walk up/down stairs, over exercise or over train. Doing to much impact activity at a young age will cause serious issues later in life, or even at a young age as hip dysplasia and other orthopaedic conditions are rising in puppies!
Remember the puppy rule for every month increase activity by 5 minuets! For example an 8 week old puppy only needs 10 minuets physical activity a day - a 6 month old only needs 30 minuets a day of physical activity!!
*physical activity includes - going for a walk, training, playing fetch, running, playing with other dogs etc.

Enjoy your new puppy but remember you wouldn't make a 6 month old baby run a mile a day so don't make your puppy either!
