If you are an active person and looking for a dog that can run with you, there are several breeds that are good for this active lifestyle. Weimaraners, Vizslas, German Short Haired Pointers, German Shepherds, Jack Russell Terriers, Goldendoodles are among the dogs suggested for long steady 10 mile runs. Running with dogs like Greyhounds, Pitbulls, English Setters, Beagles, Golden and Lab Retrievers keep it brisk and short, covering less mileage. If you like a slow run, that’s something your Dalmatian, Standard Poodles and Catahoulas can handle. Keep in mind the body type and length of nose when running dogs in heat or cold. As a runner, especially if you are new to running, you understand you must safely condition your dog to participate with you in this sport.
