    We have two, a wolamute (Alaskan malamute timber wolf hybrid) and what we were told was a lab rottie, but she's only 40lbs so thinking mini pinsher. Big girl needs at least a mile walk daily or she gets into things things she shouldn't.

    My shepherd mix and hound mix love walking and running. They are sometimes hard to manage, so I do a mile or two neighborhood loop with them tugging every which way, then I drop them at home and go on my own run.
    One of them is aggressive and pulls towards all stimuli, the other is afraid and pulls away. You would think that combination would keep me in perfect balance...

    I have two doggies.


    This is my little Jessie Dog... I rescued her from a pound when she was just a little puppy that completely fit in my hand.
    From what I know, shes as Lab - Collie - rhodesian ridgeback mix

    And this is Sasha Bear... I adopted her from a very close friend.
    Shes a full rottweiler, but small for a rottie... so I call her a runtweiler.

    My babies (I have a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel and a 1 year old Shih-tzu mix) definitely keep me active. I love them to bits & pieces!

    I have a 4 year old lab/pit mix that we got from the SPCA when she was a puppy. She's not a great runner, so I do that on my own. But, I get two good walks every day in with her and she's my constant companion when I'm home.

    I want a pitty so bad. Beautiful dogs.

    My neighbor has a red-nosed pit who is just the sweetest thing. She and a friend bought him from a breeder who was about to sell him (in a bar!) to people who were going to use him as a bait dog for their fighting pits because PJ was the runt of the litter. That story makes me so angry, especially because I know this dog so well and he's just so sweet.


    The people she bought him from and the people they were going to sell him too should be effing crucified.

    Agreed.

    He's a little hyper, but just SUCH a love.

    have a husky and a weimie that have ran as many miles as we have. The guilt of no exercise with the dogs is what keeps us going.

    My corgi was having allergies and chewed her paws up, so I had to take her to the vet Monday to get a cortizone shot and antibiotics. Now that we refilled her flea medication, she'll heal right up, but the vet said she was overweight and needed to lose 5lbs. I am making it a point to walk her more now, my poor little meatloaf.

    I have a shelter dog. She is part pit and part italian greyhound. During the summer she helps me loose a lot of weight. I hate that in the winter we are both too cold to go outside!

    I have pugs. There is a saying about pugs, "never walk your pug farther than you want to carry them", and it is true....lol.

    LOL....and some more LOL'ing....funny! I can totally see that!

    I have 2 dogs (a beagle and a basset hound). When I am feeling tired and trying to find an excuse not to walk after work they kick me in the butt and get me moving. Especially since as soon as I walk in the door from work they pace back and forth between my sneakers and the closet where their leashes are kept. How can you look in those sad eyes and not take them for a walk? They are my walking buddies, napping buddies and hide and go seek buddies...oh and I tell them all of my secrets too (they never judge lol) ...definitely a womans best friend!!

    I have 2 American Bulldogs that are about 75lbs each. D-O-G and Avalon. They are quite the workout!!!!!

    We have a English Bulldog! :) They tend to be very lazy and don't like a lot of exercise BUT that shortens their life so we walk her three times a day. When her and I go for walks (because shes a slow poke) I do walking lunges and then when we are about a block from the house we race back to the door....sounds silly but does wonders for my thighs and her health! :)

    Can I get some Boxer love in this post? I have a 1 year old Boxer who NEVER runs out of energy. I have started running with her and she still wants to go further than my 3 miles. I'm hoping I can reach her level of energy before she gets old enough to reach mine.

    I have a collie crossed with a sausage dog. He is the size of a sausage dog but every thingn else is collie. He is 10 years old and is always full of energy. He has also lost weight through me constantly walking him and is loving the extra exercise.

    Thanks to him, when I am slowing down he tends to pull me along.

    Add me as a friend if you like so we can support each other :0)

    Three rescue dogs - a lab X (in my profile picture) rescued from Hurricane Katrina, a husky-rottie mix whose mom was found roaming in the Rocky mountains while pregnant with 9 pups and a Mayan Malix (a.k.a. Mexican street dog) rescued from the streets of Cancun last year.

    My hubby works nights so he runs them during the day while I'm at work, so I only get to walk them on days off. Despite being from much warmer climates that where we live in western Canada both the Louisiana dog and the Mexican like the snow and cold so they are out every day, unless it's really really cold.

    I love them with all my heart! Our old doggie (doberman x) passed away from old age last fall and we miss her terribly!

    That just turns my stomach. People like that are EVIL.

    There are no words....

    I wish I could make THEM a bait dog!!! :mad: :explode: :mad: :angry:

    I have a pit, also a rescue, got her from a truckdriver when she was 2 months old. He was too lazy and/or stupid to housebreak her and she was peeing in his truck, so he stuffed her in the tiny toolbox UNDER the truck. About 1 foot square and 98 degrees outside....:mad: I offered to take her "temporarily" to train her and then I wouldn't give her back, LOL. My mom was afraid of pits until I got this dog and I have had her for 5 years now and I can't tell you how many times my mom has said that her mind has been totally changed about pits because this dog is just the sweetest, most loving, loyal, goofy dog you ever saw!

    I also have 4 other dogs, an Australian Shephard (from an internet rescue site), a Lab/beagle mix (found on the interstate), a boxer (also found wandering the highway), and I just recently found the sweetest little beagle/daschund that somebody abandoned at a gas station. He is so crazy that I laugh so hard til I'm cryin' sometimes!

    Fair trails + old school punishment = a safer kinder world. Who the **** would be out raping and molesting children if they knew when caught, they'd be in a dark little room having their skin pealed from their bodies.

    Lol, sorry to change direction of topic. But animal abuse and other nasty crimes set me off.

    I want to see that dog! LMAO

    The funniest dogs I've ever seen have been something mixed with a corgi. They always have the corgi legs, but longer.

    My energetic greyhound cross keeps me active, I usually double my calorie burn for the day when I take him for a walk. Me and hubby also take him running and hiking with us. There's nothing better than to hear a happy 'sigh' from the doggie bed after a long hike! :happy:
