Martin,a 4 hour walk is great fun & mildly testing for a dog but as the dog is not being pushed to do more than it feels the need to do,said dog will hold its own pace,a dog will walk all day ! I see your dogs are up for retrieve work,find a small steep hill & run them up & down that,throw the toy uphill to avoid shoulder injurys ! cheers Terry.

Recovery rate and stamina improves with age...Very few if any Tour de France winners (the worlds toughest race) are under the age of 30 which proves the point. Her recovery rate (the time it takes for the pulse rate to return to normal after exercise) sounds like it's good and that proves fitness but that will improve with age as will stamina (the ability to complete large amounts of work without tiring).

My dog recovers very well, he is so tired at times that he lies down and refuses to get up, i wait a few minutes and then he is ready for round two....

I run Red alot and some times i think i do too much, the question is what is too much. I know every dog has his or her limits and the question is what is the limit for one day.
Red is fit, but the problem is running and exercising can only be done to a point, before its too much.

I like to take Lily out while i ride my bike for about 1 hr using faster intervals within the ride. Just let up a bit if she looks to be tiring
