Answer
Hello tegan and thank you for your questions,


Exercise be careful not to over exercise a puppy a brife 10 minute walk once a day is enough for a 2/4 month old puppy sicne you will be palying with it and exercsing it in other ways also. Playing fetch is good exercsie also. An adult can be walked basicly as much as you want with a bare minmum of a 15 minute walk a day thats with a large yard and plenty of running games as well if you have a small yard 30/35 minutes for walking everyday is best....you can break this up into two or three shorter waslk if needed. Feeding puppies feed as much as they want whenever they'll eat it you can slow down feeding to what the bags guidlines are when the puppy is 10/11 months old. Some people will frown on that feeding shedual but I'cve done it with my three dogs and they are all healthy and happy. Bathing once a week is a big *No, you will strip the coat of its natrual oils and make for a sickly looking dry flaky coat and skin, Bath Only every Three months if needed..... if the dogs isn't overly oily and stinks try less offen. If the dog gets into garbage or plays in teh mud feel free to wash but do not over bathe any dog it leads to skin and coat problems. If you need anything esle feel free to ask.
