Hey everyone -
I would like a companion to run with since my husband absolutely hates to heh
so I figured, why not find a dog! I've always wanted one and planned to get one in the near future but I guess sooner, the better
I would like a family dog that is fun, gentle, and playful, as I do have an 18 month old son. I'm also seeking a breed that isn't too large because I am pretty short heh (4`11) and I really don't want to be over-powered on the runs especially if the dog happens to go after moving objects. I run 3 miles every other day (M, W, F) and the occasional Saturdays. I live in California, so the weather can vary from hot, humid, rainy, and cold (not extremes though); so definately a breed that can easily adapt to that. Also one that is protective but not agressively protective.
Any suggestions? Thank you
There are certainly some breeds that are better at running than others, however the breed is probably less important that the dog's disposition and like/dislike of running. For instance, Chiuaua's are not well suited to running. While a border collie or Jack Russell terrier would be an excellent running companion, they are very high energy dogs that need to be run everyday and have lots of "work" to do. The higher energy dogs can become very neurotic if they are not given enough to do.
You should also make sure your dog is well trained and has good leash manners. You don't want a dog that pulls on the leash, gets excited everytime it sees a squirrel, or won't come back to you if it gets loose.
