    I have a Husky/German Shephard mix who is about 14 yrs old. I cant believe I have had him this long...have had him since the day after he was born...when we brought him & his litter of 6 & mom back from the VET after her C-Section. I used to walk him a LOT but not so much anymore...it scares me to walk him too much becuase he is stubborn about drinking water during and after.

    We also have a Welsh Corgi who is about 7 yrs old. WE SHOULD walk him but dont.

    LOVE BOTH of my doggies. Our next dog, YEARS down the road, will either be a (pure bread) German Shephard or a Golden Retriever. But, I love most dogs!! :-)

    We have 3 - one male Jack Russell (Jacques/Lil Bubb) & 2 female Old English Sheepdogs (Dustmop & Gertie). I can't take all 3 on a walk by myself, so if I'm solo just Lil Bubb comes with me. He was a rescue dog following Hurricane Rita, and the vet thinks he between 12-14, but he sure doesn't act like he's that old - even if I say "W-A-L-K" instead of the actual word, he will follow me around for a good 10 minutes just to make sure I'm going to put on my shoes. :)

    I have a old retired racing greyhound, a middle age Chiweenie, and a 5 month old Doberman puppy. I walk the dogs daily, especially the Dobie. However, I can't run him until he's 18 months old because his joints need to mature first. So only about a year left to go!

    Oh, and the Dobie has become our garage gym mascot because every garage gym needs a cool mascot! :)

    I love my dog, he's the best. He makes me go for walks (long, and fast ones, lol) when I don't wanna! He's a yellow lab.

    He was a great workout buddy before I got fit and we had similar activity levels. Now... well, I might get a better workout than before....

    Two neutered males; one Wire Fox Terrier - mostly laid back and, at 10, less active (until he sees a cat) and one short-legged Jack Russell, six years old but thinks he is still a baby, chases cats, birds, anything else that moves. We walk them a minimum of 5 kilometres a day, including a lot of steep hill climbing. Three of us come back absolutely pooped, one (guess who) is ready for a game. Can dogs get ADHD?

    And yes, she walks with me if she's not too busy leaving 'pee-mail' every other leaf!

    Currently have a Papillon, a whopping 6 pounds.

    Used to have a Toy Fox Terrier, a whopping 8 pounds.

    Also had a Newfoundland, a bit more robust at 135 lbs. I really miss this guy, R.I.P.

    Paws is a Patterdale terrier and yes our daily walks are part of our excercise routine. He's a VERY energetic dog! We walk 3.5 miles a day and we both ADORE it! Sadly, I fell down the stairs today and have really hurt my arm, and he has a habbit of pulling that I have yet to train out of him so I've been postponing the walk but it looks unlikely that we'll make it today T_T And it's his 4th birthday!!! Poor doggy! We've had some very boisterous playing though to make up for it, but I feel awful today :( He will get walked tonight, though probably by my other half the way my arm is. :(

    We have a Jack Russell. She is my 3 year daughters dog. She named her Bubbles which fits her pretty well. She is so hyper and loves to play and love. She is 6 months old. She is a great addition to our little family.:happy:

    I have an AKC Wire Hair Fox Terrier (Katie) who is 19 months old and a rescue Terrier Mix that is about 3 years old. I try to walk them for an hour (3 miles) every day as part of their exercise requirement as well as mine. If I can't get in the hour due to weather then I at least try to get in a good 30 minutes.

    I also have gym quality elliptical and universal weight machine plus a combo strength/pilates machine. I do cardio every day and weights 3 times a week.
