Are certain breeds better suited to running?
A walk around the block or a 15-minute romp in the house is minimal exercise and is often 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 virtually all adolescents require much more exercise. However, a few breeds do require very little exercise to maintain good health and don’t need to necessarily run if they can get some basic and regular walking in.
