If I were going to run with any dog, it would probably be a
Chili-dog. ;-)

"Clown"?

Depends where your jogging, im guessing outdoors, so 1st off you would have
to train your dog to jog w you at your pace, and would have to be w a leash
at all times, unless the place where you jog is a really secluded area like
a dessert or ranch. Check out this web site at what breed is your choice

I have a Brittany Spaniel, who loves to run and needs a lot
of exercise. There's only one thing that slows him down -
getting hot - but if he can get into water to cool off, he
does great. We keep him clipped short in the summer which
helps tremendously as well. I keep him on a leash when I run
because you should and in many places must do so. He does
pull on the leash some, which I attribute to bad training
and probably a genetic need to roam (the breed is a bird
dog). He's a little spazzy (although better now that he's no
longer a puppy) which might be his nature and maybe the
breed (don't know - he's our first Brittany). He's not
listed in the dogbreedinfo list as a runner, but under the
breed traits, the need for exercise is noted.

Have been lurking and reading thousands of archived posts -
this my first contribution...

My brother-in-law (a very long-time runner) was out with
his 90-ish pound Heinz-57 a couple years back and the dog
crossed in front of him. Tripped over the dog and ended up
dislocating his shoulder. I've tried running with my Lab
and she'll occassionally do the same thing though I've not
gone down yet.

To reiterate your comment above - the dog must be trained to
run alongside and not be tempted to veer the course when
distracted.

The breed is important but what is really important is your
constant observation on the animal's condition especially
during these summer months. We humans are not wearing fur
coats in hot weather.

I make sure when I do take my dog out she has areas to
cool off, like ponds and streams and even so during really
bad days she stays home. No matter how bad she makes me
feel when I leave, ( there is nothing worst than sad dog
eyes when you leave the house for a run), we are suppose
to be the intelligent of the two species , well I was told
that anyway.

There is nothing worse than sad dog eyes ("how can you leave
me?") when you leave the house for ANY reason! bj
