    would you put a 14-15 mo bitch in a keep ?? (swimming, running, flirtpole, springpole, and a little pulling no more than 1/5 of her weight ). i've seen ppl do it, but i was wondering if its not too young for the joints etc... is the dog grown enough at that age? does it make any diff if the dog's a male or a female?
    no? yes, depends on the individual? depends on how i'm gonna work her?
    ps: she already does a bit of running, average 10-15 miles a week, plus the walks.

    I would say that is a good age to start working out, just pay close attention to your dog for any signs of soreness or extreme fatigue. And make sure you give the dog alot of rest. But, i think thats a good age to start working out, Good luck JMO

    Like the posts above this one already told you. Just work her and watch your dog, adjust where needed.
