Hi,
took Peanut for her first walk this very night, 20 mins, but only about 10 mins actually walking.
I have been talking to a well known person in the Vizsla com unity in the UK who has 30 years experience with them. She was talking about walking them till they have had enough, maybe with a little long lead running. Hip dysplacia is only really a problem when you force them to walk/run more that THEY want too.
As you said theyrun far more around the house and garden than the 15 mins already and they can handle more gentle walking that that. Its all about being sensible with them at this age and more so when they get bigger as bigger does not mean full grown in terms of bones and ligaments etc.
Peanut will run, walk and sniff round the garden for 30 mins + and then I call her in so she can rest, which she does and then she goes again.
Peanut absolutely loved her first walk, sat on command at roads and didn't do too much pulling seeing as though it as her first time out and I too loved it to be honest!!!
Hope this helps,
Graham
