    Our older dog, Jessie, is 7 this month, and she runs with me and my daughters (one on her bike, the other in the jogging pram) a fair bit. We just got a puppy, too - Fernie. Both dogs are active breeds, and need daily runs.

    Lucky we live at the beach, and have a wonderful bike path next to our place that takes us to a wonderful range of activities - beach, local park, another park a little further away next to the other side of our tidal lake, etc.

    If I miss a day outside then they miss a day. They have wonderful ways of letting me know about their disappointment! I don't disappoint them often, that's for sure - SO not worth it. Plus, I hate when they are stuck in the yard - we got them because they are perfect for our lifestyle and our lifestyle is perfect for them. Fernie is already showing herself to be a great endurance runner, and is great on the lead (and off it, too - she never runs away!)

    My pit will be my running partner again as soon as she's recovered from surgery.

    You guys are dirty! lol to bad I am to!


    @vitarawil That's good! My dog is a working dog on a farm but when she's home i have to give her lot's of walks and she likes the treadmill she jumps on the back when i go on it. I also live near the beach so we go for runs when the weather is good.

    I took my mum's little terrier for a run a few weeks ago... about 2.5 miles and he was so tired he slept the rest of the day!
    Make sure to pick something long-leggedy to run with XD

    My border collie/shepherd was until she bumped me while running and I fell trying to avoid her. :p

    haha, my first thought was like yours... :tongue:

    But seriously... I have a dog as well and she is a good reason to go out walking.
    But she has to do something to raise her fitness... she is slower than I am. ;)

    My golden retriever has been walking with me since she was a puppy. She's 11 now and very fit. During the winter she used to pack on some added weight but since I've gotten serious about my walking this summer, she's toned up. Last month the vet commented on how slender she looks and I wanted to yell at him. "what about me?" :tongue:

    I find if i don't take Ruby (Kelpie x Rottie) on her walk she get really fat really fast and then gets up to know good. The longest walk i have taken her on is a 4hr walk and she was still up for the beach and going running, but she is only 3 years old.

    Our 3 year old cocker loves to walk with us. It's very good for her as she had a severe back energy and without the exercise he loses strength quickly. She's lost some weight since we got on MFP and looks very trim now.

    My poor pup is too old for walks nowadays... major arthritis. She's fine to lay around lazy all day though. She still brings me smiles!

    BUT I am a dog walker, so I have MANY doggy work out partners :)
