BEST DOGS FOR RUNNERS

The September 2009 issue of Men’s Journal featured a men’s buyer guide to choosing and purchasing a dog. Included in the buyers guide was a breakdown of what breeds make the best running partners, this of course caught my intention.

****
Here’s there breakdown in no particular order

1. The Schipperke
Photobucket

Bred as a watch dog, good in small spaces, loves killing rats, and needs more training than most dogs.

2. The Australian Shepherd
Photobucket

Bred as a herder, eager, and needs agility training.

3. The Blue Heeler
Photobucket

Needs to be ran, rugged coat, and nippy without training.

****

I hope this helps someone out there make a wise choice.
Here is my running partner

Photobucket

He last about a ½ mile.

Hey, I have those shoes and love them to pieces. I'm thinking of trying out the leather version when the weather really gets cold.

Also, I've know a couple of people with Heelers who say they are extremely loyal to the very end. Amazing runners for being so stocky!

i didn't even know they made those in leather. Beagles are very loyal but not great runners.
