Jogging with your dog is great exercise for both of you. Many mixed or hybrids breeds and high energy types would be excellent choices as a jogging partner. It's probably best not to have a toy or northern working breed as a jogging companion. The very small and very large breeds really aren't built for long runs. An ideal running partner will be medium sized around 50 to 70 pounds.
