English Bulldog won't exercise

[cheesehawk]

Walking down stairs is difficult for short legged dogs and worse for pups. My vet told me that and small dog shouldn't be allowed to walk up and down steps or stairs, it over stretches the legs and can cause propblems with muscles and ligaments, especially the crutial ligament.

Ya, that's what I've been told too, especially for the first year of a bulldog's life, to carry them up and down the stairs. He's getting heavy now, but I don't mind it at all!
