Are certain breeds better suited for running?
A walk around the block or a 15-minute romp around several times a day is minimal exercise and is NOT enough to meet the average dog’s needs. Active breeds such as dogs from the sporting, herding, hound and terrier groups, northern breeds and any mixture of these and virtually all adolescents require much more exercise! However, a few breeds do require very little exercise to maintain good health and will derive little benefit from running.
