I'm watching my friends dog for a week while she's away, I believe he's a shorkie (shitzu/yorkie mix), I took him for a 45 min walk this morning and he was definitely falling behind, I'm used to walking my dog for at least an hour each morning, but the problem was that the neighborhood she lives in has no shade from trees like mine and he has long hair.
So I took him home with me tonight, so we'll walk early in the shade tommorow. Do you think 1 hour is too much for this type of dog? I watch for any stress signals like excessive panting, laying down, etc and bring a portable water with me just in case.
I would like some feedback from small dog owners, or of similar breed type.
thanks you
