Is my dog's 102.9 F temperature normal after a long walk or exercise?

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 6 months old

I went for a 15 mi utes walk where he played and run and after coming back to home i immediately took his temperature and it came 102.9 Fahrenheit so is it normal to have this much of temperature after walk or not?

Hi there. Normal temperature in dogs ranges from 100.5 - 102.5. So 102.9 is just barely above normal, and not at all surprising if you've just been on a walk. This shouldn't be any cause for concern at all, as long as Bruno is acting normal :)
