| IMHO I'd rather see a nice 30 minute brisk walk....later some ball playing......swimming.....heeling......etc than a mega dose of exercise all at one time.
Walking is great.....but other exercises use different muscle groups and help keep them in fine shape. Swimming is the ultimate non-stress exercise for joints.
4-5 months is when typically the vaccinations are complete and the puppy can be considered "fully vaccinated". That's why it's suggested to not take them where other dogs might frequent. Risk of illness.
