Hello all. I am a new member of this forum. Trying to learn more to better take care of my cane corso.
I have a 9 month old female cane corso who has become a member of our family. We are planning to go on an overnight backpacking trip in the mountains and planned to bring my cane corso along. The park allows dogs and we plan to use a leash. We have trained her to walk on a leash and are very comfortable with her behavior, etc. However, I recently heard that hiking in the mountains with a puppy less than 18 months might lead to hip dysplasia. I have read in other places that this is not true. I plan to carry all the weight in my pack so she only has to carry her body weight. Hoping to take her but I don't want to hurt her.
I would REALLY appreciate any references to a credible web site or other resource on this issue.
Thanks!
