Hike!
Pam Davis, USA
Happy Spring/Summer! What better time to dust off those sneakers
and get out to walk with your Russell Terrier, and as an added
incentive the American Kennel Club has just launched a new titling
program called FIT Dog!
As part of the AKC Family Dog series, FIT Dog is way to improve your own personal health than
a multi-level program that recognizes the simple spending at least 25 minutes a day walking with
joy of taking your Russell for a long walk or your Russell at your side? This program allows you
walking with your Russell for a minimum length of to walk with two dogs at a time but NO, treadmills
time every day. The American Heart Association don’t count! The program allows any dog over 6
recommends we humans walk 150 minutes per months of age to participate, including dogs with
week or about 25 minutes a day. What better disabilities, if they can accomplish the tasks.
