As a dog trainer for almost 20 years & dog owner of many different breeds & mixes. I certify this list as very accurate 👍 being also an avid runner & long distance hiker. My favorite one on this list is the Rhodesian Ridgeback. Simply because it can flat out fly when sprinting & at the same time run a steady smooth pace for 20 plus miles. Most Ridgebacks have a gear that other breeds just don't have. It's innate & can't be trained. You either have it or you don't. Thank you sir for the outstanding video 👍

yep i have a Rhodesian ridge back and there amazing the most protective dog in a good way and caring dog with a shit ton of energy and can be trained like nothing and the stripe down there back when there excited is a added bonus i hiked 47 miles straight with my Rhodesian ridgeback shes also taught commands in sign language i would die for my dog and im sure she would to for anyone in my family
@@clarenceonyekwere5428 yes they're great in almost any weather if conditioned properly. Very resilient breed. But use common sense of course, a dog can only cool themselves so much. A Ridgeback is good with children if socialized correctly from when they're born. Especially within their own pack. They're super loyal & can be very protective of their loved ones.
Love it man, make this a series, i suggest Top 10 big dogs for new owners Top 10 low energy dogs Top 10 dogs for disabled people Top 10 big dogs for experienced owners. Keep up the good work man.
dogs for disabled people would actually be a pretty interesting list, but it would vary hugely depending on what disability you're talking about. Dogs for experienced or inexperienced people is bs though. Inexperienced people who do research are often better owners than "experienced" people who've been neglecting their dogs' training for decades, or who've had 5 Spaniels and think they're now ready for an Akita. I've known some first time dog owners with extremely well trained dogs, and "experienced" people who had to walk every one of their small breed dogs separately, because they were too out of control to walk them at the same time.
Totally agree, BC can be great joggers too. Just need to condition them on their pacing with you and they can be your fantastic running partner. Enjoy running! :)
@@Te3time Ridgebacks seem to be all over the place in terms of energy levels. I met plenty of them when I lived in South Africa, and they were never particularly hyper.
My Ridgeback has boundless energy. I'm not a runner, but I take her on hikes through hilly woods and when I take her to the dog park, she can go for 2-3 hours non-stop.
@@hdjmiller 2-3 hours of jogging shouldn't be a problem for any healthy dog. My dad used to let our Chinese Crested mix run along the bicycle on 40km trips. However, that dog was not "high energy" by any means. Just because he was able to run forever, doesn't mean he wasn't equally comfortable sitting around on the couch all day. My current dog is pretty similar. He's perfectly capable of running forever, but if I want him to go any faster than a trot, I'd have to drag him.
Love the topic idea. Of course everyone has other breeds to add but that makes the comments interesting. Like you, I can’t run anymore but I walk 2 miles a day. A video on best dogs for walking and/or hiking (basically lower energy) would interest me. I have a presa and a pit bull mix and they both are working out well for walking. And since I walk in L.A. they also provide good security.
@@manorton6709 Get yourself a mix breed. They are the dogs with the most versatile energy you will find. Where most dog breeds are either laid back when tired, joggers or sprinters, pure mix breeds can be all three. My Africanus dog Ben can sprint non stop for 10 minutes or hike all day with me or lay next to me on the couch all day. He is an awesome jogging partner and great overall.
I'm sure every doberman owner is losing their heads how their runners didnt make the list. They most likely ran off the list to chase after some ball...
Dude. Your channel is awesome. Thanks for putting out such high quality content and having the best information for all things dogs. Keep doing your thing!!
As a female runner, my giant Schnauzer was fantastic. Great athlete and protection all in one. I ran with Dalmatians prior to that, and they were great running partners as well, just not as intimidating as my Schnauzer
My top 10 dogs for runners (CaniCross) by a CaniCrosser 1. German shorthair pointer 2. All Belgian shepherds 3. Australian Shepherd 4. Siberian Husky 5. Doberman Pinscher 6. Hungarian Viszla 7. Saluki, they are the marathon runners of the sighthounds 8. All working Retrievers 9. Border Collie 10. Dalmatian PS: please never your dog on a collar, that can cause a lot of damage on the neck. Always use are harness
WildHeart-Stinger if your dog is trained not to pull they won’t hurt themselves with a collar. And if they do pull a harness is counterproductive and will teach them too pull so actually never use a harness and a use a collar that you can actually control your dog with.. any logical and good dog trainer will tell you that.
@@tijmen1949 I think you're thinking of the german shepherd. The australian shepherd has very few health issues, just like with the border collie. They are known to occasionally get hip dysplasia at older age but are still much less prone to it than every dog on this list.
I had an Aussie - she was a wonderful pet and fun to run with. I’ve owned a number of different breeds and the Australian Shepherd is the smartest dog I’ve ever had.
As a husky owner, thank you for mentioning the heat, and to not shave the coat. Excellent excellent and accurate advice. And yes, they are fantastic running companions and absolutely need and require the exercise. You take a husky running in temps below freezing and you will see joy like you've never seen before. They absolutely live to work and run in cold temps, and become intensely ecstatic in the cold. They love it more than any human loves anything.
Truth. I was in Minnesota and it was snowing sheets and about -40 F... The neighbors Husky was happy as hell playing outside jumping in the snow... was funny.
I used to just run alone with my ipod and running usually kinda sucked. Now I always run with my jack Russell and my chiweenie terrier mix and the runs are way more enjoyable
I had a Doberman and a Malamute. I also had a Am Staff. Pinsher is German for terrier...BTW. The Doberman was by far the best dog to ride with on my bike. The Am Staff was nice, but he lacked the Doberman's stamina and speed (he could not get over 30 MPH) I was in training and my bike riding would take me well over 30 mph often...but the Am Staff was a great runner otherwise...but could not keep up with my Dobe so I had to decouple them...Let me rephrase that...my Am Staff had a ton of stamina he was just not as fast as my Doberman (nor as threatening looking). My Malamute could run all day but the heat of Florida would get to him...we would have to stop. The Doberman breed was also bred from the Weimeranner, German Short haired Pinsher, and also has Rottie and Greyhound. So you have to train the Doberman to pace with you or he will run off. But once he can pace...the best dog I ever had. My Vet explained the longer the snout the more they are built for running. Shorter snouts have issues breathing when at pace.
pinscher and terrier have no relationship as far as I know, big difference: in social acting, usecases and caracter. pin comes from old germany and ment the same as now in english. manchester terrier was mixed with dobermann by J. Göller and did big damage to the genetic pool. but only genetic analysis will tell for sure who is who.
@@jaydenogiamien6655 yea man. They have zero çontrol over their behavior béçàuse their instincts are very strong to scent. There very big dogs and once they take off, they're like a far in the wind. They'll disappear. Its like. Saying you çàn trust a game bred pit bull off leash in a dog park.
Dobermann is missing, best heatresistance even the black version ! Very protectiv in all situations, can do a marathon if trained well, but make sure that you are in full control of the dog.
Rhodesian Ridgeback is by far the best running dog. Consistent pace, athletic build, and coat built for all terrain and climate. Owned several and they can go forever. Super loyal dogs 🐕
Agree with the choice 100%, the GSP is the ultimate running companion...may I add biking companion and the fact that the GWP, German Wirehaired Pointer is a default #1 tie with the GSP. Have a GWP I bike with almost daily, he is a great companion in every sense, especially when we go for a bike run...
I was watching this list just to see if you had German Shorthairs. I am currently with my 4th GSP. I think I just like the spots and all the colors variations they have. I also Had a Ridgeback Lab cross that was amazing. Considered weimaraner and Vizla as well because they are basically a solid colored pointer. One breed I didn't see was any of the spaniels and Brittanys at that. Setters and English pointers also run.
My Belgian Tervuren is a great runner too, but I understand your bias towards short-haired dogs :) Also the European Sled Dog is now used a lot for mushing sports, it's not a real breed just yet, but probably in a couple of years, it will be. It's a mix of the German Short-haired Pointer, the English Pointer and the Greyhound. I do canicross and many of the best runners have these dogs.
I once saw a Doberman running with his owner who was on a horse. The horse needs to cover ton of distance to stay in shape and the Doberman didn’t even break a sweat running with the horse.
Lol u should get a running dog there really cool and they help u lose weight I got a husky and wen I feel lazy I know I have to take him out anyway so we run every morning and it’s good for ur mental health
This was a great list!!! Most of the time I hear top 10 dogs for "whatever" it's usually terrible. As a professional trainer I appreciate this list. Just found your channel and I plan on spending some time with it
Any time you run on hard surfaces for a long messes up your joints and your knees if you're going to run its best to run on Sand or grass sidewalks roads are horrible on the body. BTW love your channel. Always excited to see what going to be new video
Nice video! My am-staff and i have run together for over 500 miles in his 10 year life thus far and people for some reason dont think these dogs can run. I"m here to tell you that this is the best running buddy I've ever had. He has never overheated, never fallen behind and always enthusiastic to go, i will say it's prob best to limit you mileage to 5 miles or less if you are a distance runner. Although i have no doubt a pitty could and would love to run for as long as you can it's prob best to keep their mileage down as they'll run till they die as long as youre running with them.
My Dalmatian and GSP are always up for a run and an adventure. There are plenty of worthy breeds, individual dogs, mixes, and rescues too. I'm proud both of my girls made the top 5.
Great great video. My thoughts: A. I am afraid whether the pure hunting dogs such as the pointer and the visla will run next to you, having in mind they are maybe not as trainable as other dogs. Or if they make their own game away from your path, by exploring the scents around them as you run. B.i would prefer the amstaf for a city living style and "inside the city" Jogging (if I was jogging) C. I would prefer the Rhodesian for "out of the town" running in nature (if I was running) D. Would like to see TOP TEN DOGS FOR CITY AND COUNTRY WALKING (as exercise) That is for us who prefer walking as a mild cardiovascular exercise.
Doberman, Springer Spaniel, Irish Setter, German Wirehaired Pointer, Australian Shephard and Border Collie you all will always be part of this list for me
I jog with my golden retriever. She obviously has stamina for it. She used to pick up a log in her mouth and run/hike with us. Now she is old, but still loves to run.. she trots at her own pace. She does shed and in summer she needs more water. She loves winter, she can handle the cold and she used to pull me while cross country skiing. She is an awesome watch dog and Is protective.. she loves swimming too... ocean, river or lake she can handle it...
Yes! My husky is a great running partner! As long as you get up early on hot days when it’s still cool and they have access to water, they’re good :) I live in NorCal and it gets HOT, so go early and then they’re nice and relaxed and tired in air conditioning all day
From all hunting dogs I’d suggest the epagnuel breton. I’ve had them and Pointers, drathars, and i’ve closely seen bracos and retreivers from friends. None of them by far have the stamina of the breton that i Guess has not been lost on his US Cousin, the brittanny spaniel. Apart of his stamina is a very friendly dog, but it needs long exercise every day.
Im rockin doberman n vizsla.. my lil beast run all day! Leash free was alot of work to get em to where they are but it was well worth the work to skip the leash on longer runs!
Well I was (and still am) a lazy fucker. And then I got a Weimaraner. I can tell you despite all the genetics that a breed carries, the dog adapts to you. Don't get me wrong he still has a lot of energy and I've been 'forced' to take him out everyday for a long walk. My laziness it's starting to fade, un fact, now if I don't go out with the dog I feel like I'm failing him. He runs, he smells, he plays on the woods and the beach for 2 o 3 hours and still has energy for days, but in the moment we go inside the house he grabs my lazy spirit and sleeps by my side until I take him out again or when he wants to piss or so. Don't be afraid, a dog well-cared, no matter the breed, will never complicate your life, it will improve ir.
Great video! I run with my German shorthair and my wirehaired pointing griffon. My shorthair will run laps around me all day whereas my griff taps out after 4-5 miles.
in my opinion as a runner, who runs with dogs since years nearly on a daily basis, the first few breeds are not rly ideal for running. He mentioned it, but prey drive and searchability (like most working retriever will provide) is something u absolutely want to avoid in your companion, if u want to have a nice calm jog, or run. But the last breeds are totally awesome running partners. The best breed i was running with was indeed a female weimaraner. Pointer are definitely the best category of breeds for running purpose. Poorly i hadnt the oportunity to run with a viszla yet, but i had a husky, german pointer, Jagdterrier, Aussiemix, Weimaraner, and now im running a Lab-Pitbull mix. My Aussie-Berner Sennen Mix was also great.
Yo Zeke, thanks for hooking us up all month long. I love dogs and your content and video quality is the best out there not just TH-cam. And now that you put this list out there's going to be other channels taking your info and making some BS video
I knew the Husky would make the list lol I run my Husky 5 miles easy and that's just to calm him down for the night. The amount of energy they have is unbelievable.
@@carlobrigante881 yea they are a coursing mastiff, they were also used to chase game. It may be surprising but a well bred corso is extremely athletic for a mastiff and are built for running. Only other mastiffs that come to mind being good for running are well bred bandogges and the dogo argentino.
@@carlobrigante881 and they'd make a better running companion than an amstaff in my opinion, not because they are faster or can last longer but I do find that them being generally calmer makes it easier for them not to get distracted and almost ruin the run.
Richard Santana bottom line no mastiff is a good running partner. There may be a few exceptions like some more athletic dogos but running for long distances with a big corso will tear they’re joints apart and there stamina is not very good and you will have to stop running at least every 10 minutes to let them breath and drink water.. and being a Mastiff breed they can’t breath as efficiently as other breeds like Shepard’s and pointers and retrievers which are the most ideal breeds for running. Basically what I’m getting at is a cane corso would never be a good running partner unless the runner is obese and can’t run for long either. Canes are meant for power. Not for endurance and that’s what running takes.
I run and mountain bike with my Australian Cattle Dog, the Blue Heeler variation. She is a beast when we go down hill biking off leash. Every once in a while her prey drive kicks in but she is so loyal that after 5 seconds of chase she always runs back and catches up! I’d put a ACD on here for sure. Plus, they are part dingo, they are super resilient to nature.
I haven't finished watching but I really hope that Doberman makes the list. They have a ridiculous amount of stamina and they pace themselves well. Shepherds are good too but in the heat their double coat makes human running temperatures a bit uncomfortable for them and they can Tucker out from the heat sooner than really serious runners may like. Dobbies love a long run and they have the stamina and obedient nature to keep up for a very long decent pace run. The short coat bias on your part seems very wise in my experience, at least in PA where we have 90 degree extremely humid temps. But my GSD loves to run in the cooler temps, but depending on how cool the temperature is, my stamina can diminish before his sometimes.
He completely left them off despite the fact they were bred from the Weimeranner and the German Short Haired Pinsher (and the Rottie). Amazing exercise dogs to run with and their stamina beats every dog he listed. Except the Malamute, but that coat makes him impractical for most southern states. Of course greyhounds are very fast but do not typically pace.
My neighbor have a german shorthair pointer that we here in Brazil call it "americano". I pick my mom miniature pinscher and go walk together with this americano dog, that dog has so much energy! But unfortunately early in it's life may have some joint problems.
GSP FTW! I've taken my GSP upwards of 13-16 miles on runs. Training for our first timed half marathon and hope to be training for our first marathon next year. ✌️
Some of these dogs aint good runners in colder temperature. You live in south florida i live in finland it get almost -40celsius can ridgeback run all day in there no it would be dead im thankful you put malamute and husky in there but its not enough they are alike and some dosent want their personality. But whats goes to rest its good video. ps. like Australian Cattle dog has the coat and running material in it. So it would be good dog for runner and it dosent get that hot in hot and not cold in cold so i think its The best running dog
He obviously has never got on a skateboard or bike with a Doberman. I have owned several and several Pit Bulls. They are both good dogs for riding with but once the Dobe learns to pace he can run further than the Pit who has a shorter wider snout and will start panting after a few miles and you have to stop...Let me stress, Pit Bulls will not stop, but you have to stop because the panting becomes too much. The breed never stops at anything LOL. Dobes go on and on and on...they not only run further they run faster. Every single Dobe I had could beat every Pit I had running. APBT are great for a few miles...Neither breed may be great for the novice exerciser due to their high prey drive and you have to train both (especially the Dobe) how to pace. However, Dobes were bred for running MUCH more than Am Staffs were. They were personal protection dogs that Dobermann wanted to be mobile and able to patrol large areas of land.
Great list and with you doing a vid a day in may I understand how there could be a few breeds missing that possibly could have made ur list! Just too many good runners!
for my husky i play ball during the day and then walk at night right before bed. kills her energy and keeps her from overheating and helps protect her paws from the hot pavement. in the winter we go earlier or to local parks. since it stays around 65-75F Lows 30s-40sF, She does fairly well.
I'm really surprised & i'm not believing that you didn't add the Doberman Pinschers, or the Belgian Malinois to your top 10😱Why not a Doberman Pinscher? They absolutely love love love to run run & run some more....
maybe because they are working class dogs, and if u have them just for running the owner will often have to do other dogsports as well to keep them busy.
@@klomo13 with a Doberman Pinscher you always have to keep them busy, such as the Labradors, & the Ridgebacks.... I should know i've owned Dobies & Labs, damn near my whole life, since i was 13yrs old back in 1977
@@klomo13 What? I have exercised with Dobermans on bikes for years. What are you talking about? They are one of the easiest breeds to train if you have half an ass. I would not jog with one though, they are too fast. At least having a bike or skateboard making them work helps.
@@klomo13 Are you aware of the prey drive of a Malamute? I have owned a couple...and Dobes. Malamutes are more head strong, are not easy to train, and will run off after squirells and small prey even more than the Dobe--which can at least be trained. Malamutes also are dog aggressive for the most part, which means you will have issues in any confrontation. They can run forever, but hate the heat, and do their own thing. They rank way down the list in trainability.
Really good list and I appreciate the prioritization of attributes because I always see lists including dogs that were bred for sprinting for runners. Who the hell wants a sprinting partner lol?
My Belgian Malinois is good for running. She has a lot of energy and is very focused so she doesn’t chase rodents, only pays attention to other people but she doesn’t both them. She is trained so she knows “heel”, which is great.
Another awesome vid, I'm a big guy n I try to work out wen I can so my luv goes out to rotties, bull dogs, & Dogo argentinos, please don't stop the vids 👍👏👏👏🏆
Love it. Great list. I’ve always see the Viszla mentioned as a great running partner. I wasn’t aware that it was also good for protection too. My running dog was a rough collie. So smart. Great off Leash too. Unfortunately as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become very allergic to dogs. How about a list of dogs that are someone hypoallergenic, great running and family dogs? I’ve been looking into the standard and giant schnauzer. But I haven’t found any breeders in Miami. I’d definitely look for a low energy dog if there’s such a thing.
Have you made sure you are not reacting to the schnauzer? If you can borrow one and keep it in your home for a few days, that is the best way to tell, but keep in mind that different dogs of the same breed may have different levels of allergens. If you're allergic to dog dandruff some breeds might work for you, if it's the saliva you react to you are pretty much allergic to the whole dog.
Emma Blomqvist no. I haven’t. I’ve only been with a standard schnauzer that hadn’t been bathed. And I seemed to be ok. Thats just it. Is not a common dog in Miami. I’d love nothing more than to meet someone with a giant to see if I’d be ok. I’ve noticed that I’m a lot less allergic to small dogs than large ones. :/
I have a blue heeler. I do about 60 mi per week in the summer with 90° - 100° weather. He still wants to go home after the run and play fetch. I noticed a lot of dogs are just not made for heat. I guess a lot of humans aren't made for the heat as well. I guess it just depends.
Amazing! I'm actually walking and short sprinting with my healthy OEB, he loves it! It takes us about 30 min a day or sometimes the hour. Been taking him from little to a lot to condition him and make him go the distance.
He started the list at 3:02

Would be if they werent so plagued with lower back issues sadly
@@tijmen1949 I think you're thinking of the german shepherd. The australian shepherd has very few health issues, just like with the border collie. They are known to occasionally get hip dysplasia at older age but are still much less prone to it than every dog on this list.
@@tijmen1949 Australian Shepherds do not have that issue
I had an Aussie - she was a wonderful pet and fun to run with. I’ve owned a number of different breeds and the Australian Shepherd is the smartest dog I’ve ever had.
As a husky owner, thank you for mentioning the heat, and to not shave the coat. Excellent excellent and accurate advice. And yes, they are fantastic running companions and absolutely need and require the exercise. You take a husky running in temps below freezing and you will see joy like you've never seen before. They absolutely live to work and run in cold temps, and become intensely ecstatic in the cold. They love it more than any human loves anything.
Truth. I was in Minnesota and it was snowing sheets and about -40 F... The neighbors Husky was happy as hell playing outside jumping in the snow... was funny.
I used to just run alone with my ipod and running usually kinda sucked. Now I always run with my jack Russell and my chiweenie terrier mix and the runs are way more enjoyable
Nice list.
I had a Doberman and a Malamute. I also had a Am Staff. Pinsher is German for terrier...BTW. The Doberman was by far the best dog to ride with on my bike. The Am Staff was nice, but he lacked the Doberman's stamina and speed (he could not get over 30 MPH) I was in training and my bike riding would take me well over 30 mph often...but the Am Staff was a great runner otherwise...but could not keep up with my Dobe so I had to decouple them...Let me rephrase that...my Am Staff had a ton of stamina he was just not as fast as my Doberman (nor as threatening looking). My Malamute could run all day but the heat of Florida would get to him...we would have to stop. The Doberman breed was also bred from the Weimeranner, German Short haired Pinsher, and also has Rottie and Greyhound. So you have to train the Doberman to pace with you or he will run off. But once he can pace...the best dog I ever had. My Vet explained the longer the snout the more they are built for running. Shorter snouts have issues breathing when at pace.
pinscher and terrier have no relationship as far as I know, big difference: in social acting, usecases and caracter. pin comes from old germany and ment the same as now in english. manchester terrier was mixed with dobermann by J. Göller and did big damage to the genetic pool. but only genetic analysis will tell for sure who is who.
Never ever let a bloodhound off leash
Ever. You'll never see it again.
Truer words have never been spoken... Lost a great dog that way, they don't remember where home is!!!
Like Beagles
I have a bloodhound mix I agree 👍
lol really
@@jaydenogiamien6655 yea man. They have zero çontrol over their behavior béçàuse their instincts are very strong to scent. There very big dogs and once they take off, they're like a far in the wind. They'll disappear. Its like. Saying you çàn trust a game bred pit bull off leash in a dog park.
Dobermann is missing, best heatresistance even the black version ! Very protectiv in all situations, can do a marathon if trained well, but make sure that you are in full control of the dog.
You're killing it, man, awesome videos every time. Thank you!!
Rhodesian Ridgeback is by far the best running dog. Consistent pace, athletic build, and coat built for all terrain and climate. Owned several and they can go forever. Super loyal dogs 🐕
I ran for years and my Alaskan Malamute was my running buddy.
Agree with the choice 100%, the GSP is the ultimate running companion...may I add biking companion and the fact that the GWP, German Wirehaired Pointer is a default #1 tie with the GSP. Have a GWP I bike with almost daily, he is a great companion in every sense, especially when we go for a bike run...
I was watching this list just to see if you had German Shorthairs. I am currently with my 4th GSP. I think I just like the spots and all the colors variations they have. I also Had a Ridgeback Lab cross that was amazing. Considered weimaraner and Vizla as well because they are basically a solid colored pointer. One breed I didn't see was any of the spaniels and Brittanys at that. Setters and English pointers also run.
Because of this video I got a German Shorthair pointer and I could not be happier
My Belgian Tervuren is a great runner too, but I understand your bias towards short-haired dogs :) Also the European Sled Dog is now used a lot for mushing sports, it's not a real breed just yet, but probably in a couple of years, it will be. It's a mix of the German Short-haired Pointer, the English Pointer and the Greyhound. I do canicross and many of the best runners have these dogs.
I once saw a Doberman running with his owner who was on a horse. The horse needs to cover ton of distance to stay in shape and the Doberman didn’t even break a sweat running with the horse.
Of course, which tells you how informed this list was. He just selected some dogs randomly and said he realizes more are out there.
Ten dogs I will probably never own. Lol
Lol u should get a running dog there really cool and they help u lose weight I got a husky and wen I feel lazy I know I have to take him out anyway so we run every morning and it’s good for ur mental health
You're on fire today, two videos... Great content, much appreciated!
@Luis Francis
Agreed! We’re liking Z’s videos... K9 Oso does too. 🤝
I run with my pit bull through forest near my house, great running dog.
This was a great list!!! Most of the time I hear top 10 dogs for "whatever" it's usually terrible. As a professional trainer I appreciate this list. Just found your channel and I plan on spending some time with it
Agree with GSP as your top pick.
My Irish Water Spaniel is a great running companion who loves parkrun and other running trails.
Awesome video Zeke
My Siberian Husky LOVED running so much.
Any time you run on hard surfaces for a long messes up your joints and your knees if you're going to run its best to run on Sand or grass sidewalks roads are horrible on the body. BTW love your channel. Always excited to see what going to be new video
*if you have bad running technique
But it'll be bad for ur dog most likely
Hot asphalt can seriously damage a dogs paws :(
Nice video! My am-staff and i have run together for over 500 miles in his 10 year life thus far and people for some reason dont think these dogs can run. I"m here to tell you that this is the best running buddy I've ever had. He has never overheated, never fallen behind and always enthusiastic to go, i will say it's prob best to limit you mileage to 5 miles or less if you are a distance runner. Although i have no doubt a pitty could and would love to run for as long as you can it's prob best to keep their mileage down as they'll run till they die as long as youre running with them.
My Dalmatian and GSP are always up for a run and an adventure. There are plenty of worthy breeds, individual dogs, mixes, and rescues too. I'm proud both of my girls made the top 5.
Jack Russell all day long. For the reasons you cited. I go biking with both of mine.
Great great video.
My thoughts:
A. I am afraid whether the pure hunting dogs such as the pointer and the visla will run next to you, having in mind they are maybe not as trainable as other dogs. Or if they make their own game away from your path, by exploring the scents around them as you run.
B.i would prefer the amstaf for a city living style and "inside the city" Jogging (if I was jogging)
C. I would prefer the Rhodesian for "out of the town" running in nature (if I was running)
D. Would like to see TOP TEN DOGS FOR CITY AND COUNTRY WALKING (as exercise) That is for us who prefer walking as a mild cardiovascular exercise.
Doberman, Springer Spaniel, Irish Setter, German Wirehaired Pointer, Australian Shephard and Border Collie you all will always be part of this list for me
I jog with my golden retriever. She obviously has stamina for it. She used to pick up a log in her mouth and run/hike with us. Now she is old, but still loves to run.. she trots at her own pace. She does shed and in summer she needs more water. She loves winter, she can handle the cold and she used to pull me while cross country skiing. She is an awesome watch dog and Is protective.. she loves swimming too... ocean, river or lake she can handle it...
Love having my APBT running beside me when I am riding my bike. I am not much of a runner now since retiring from the Army.
I have a bloodhound belgian Malinois mix and she's a great running partner
Bro!!! No Doberman? Athletic personal protection breed, perfectly designed for runners and biking.
I was thinking the same thing they love to run thats there thing besides to guard,i have 3 they are awsome dogs
Yes! My husky is a great running partner! As long as you get up early on hot days when it’s still cool and they have access to water, they’re good :) I live in NorCal and it gets HOT, so go early and then they’re nice and relaxed and tired in air conditioning all day
i think you have forgotten the Belgian Malinois lmao
Dane Juesna Exactly, my Malinois is a great pace setter!
He belongs there more than a couple up there. Great athlete...like the Doberman.
Doberman as well
Stfu
From all hunting dogs I’d suggest the epagnuel breton. I’ve had them and Pointers, drathars, and i’ve closely seen bracos and retreivers from friends. None of them by far have the stamina of the breton that i Guess has not been lost on his US Cousin, the brittanny spaniel. Apart of his stamina is a very friendly dog, but it needs long exercise every day.
My Dogo argentino forces me to run!
That #1 spot is real true. My friend has two and they never tire.
Im rockin doberman n vizsla.. my lil beast run all day! Leash free was alot of work to get em to where they are but it was well worth the work to skip the leash on longer runs!
I loved this video and thought it was brilliant, but for a different reason: I am a lazy bastard, so this is the 10 breeds I should never own.
Haha, at least your honest. I'd say 90 percent of the people.ouy there feel the same as you, lol!
Well I was (and still am) a lazy fucker. And then I got a Weimaraner. I can tell you despite all the genetics that a breed carries, the dog adapts to you. Don't get me wrong he still has a lot of energy and I've been 'forced' to take him out everyday for a long walk. My laziness it's starting to fade, un fact, now if I don't go out with the dog I feel like I'm failing him. He runs, he smells, he plays on the woods and the beach for 2 o 3 hours and still has energy for days, but in the moment we go inside the house he grabs my lazy spirit and sleeps by my side until I take him out again or when he wants to piss or so.
Don't be afraid, a dog well-cared, no matter the breed, will never complicate your life, it will improve ir.
Lol😂
now that's responsible dog owner, 1st rule never ever get a dog that won't fit your lifestyle.
salute you..!
Haha. I'm laughing so hard.
Great video! I run with my German shorthair and my wirehaired pointing griffon. My shorthair will run laps around me all day whereas my griff taps out after 4-5 miles.
Nice placement of the ad! 👌🏼. Watched it all the way through for that! Aha
since you brought it up how about a vid about the best digs for walkers?
in my opinion as a runner, who runs with dogs since years nearly on a daily basis, the first few breeds are not rly ideal for running. He mentioned it, but prey drive and searchability (like most working retriever will provide) is something u absolutely want to avoid in your companion, if u want to have a nice calm jog, or run. But the last breeds are totally awesome running partners. The best breed i was running with was indeed a female weimaraner. Pointer are definitely the best category of breeds for running purpose. Poorly i hadnt the oportunity to run with a viszla yet, but i had a husky, german pointer, Jagdterrier, Aussiemix, Weimaraner, and now im running a Lab-Pitbull mix. My Aussie-Berner Sennen Mix was also great.
Good video! I'd love to see a video showing the physical differences between sport and show with the different breeds.
You have a great list here. Was waiting for the short haired pointer and thought you were gonna miss it, so glad to see that at number 1.
Yo Zeke, thanks for hooking us up all month long. I love dogs and your content and video quality is the best out there not just TH-cam. And now that you put this list out there's going to be other channels taking your info and making some BS video
I knew the staff would make it into this list.....their great with distractions and good runners.
Top ten for experienced handlers, z💪🏾
I knew the Husky would make the list lol I run my Husky 5 miles easy and that's just to calm him down for the night. The amount of energy they have is unbelievable.
I'm surprised Doberman didn't make the list
A repeated theme in these comments by everyone who has owned one or watched one run.
Nice video! I just got a German Shorthair puppy, and he is really great. He definitely has a huge amount of energy!
I love the info! Zeke, great job as always!
All these breeds are great! You know which one I choose 👈😁
A pug?
@@arijfroo look ware the finger is pointing, to the left and what do you see in the picture on the left. Dumbass
@Jacob Kay When the sarcasm doesn't make sense no
I'm surprised dobermans and corsos aren't here. Solid vid either way.
A dobby ok but a corso really? Fkn really?
@@carlobrigante881 yea they are a coursing mastiff, they were also used to chase game. It may be surprising but a well bred corso is extremely athletic for a mastiff and are built for running. Only other mastiffs that come to mind being good for running are well bred bandogges and the dogo argentino.
@@carlobrigante881 and they'd make a better running companion than an amstaff in my opinion, not because they are faster or can last longer but I do find that them being generally calmer makes it easier for them not to get distracted and almost ruin the run.
Richard Santana bottom line no mastiff is a good running partner. There may be a few exceptions like some more athletic dogos but running for long distances with a big corso will tear they’re joints apart and there stamina is not very good and you will have to stop running at least every 10 minutes to let them breath and drink water.. and being a Mastiff breed they can’t breath as efficiently as other breeds like Shepard’s and pointers and retrievers which are the most ideal breeds for running. Basically what I’m getting at is a cane corso would never be a good running partner unless the runner is obese and can’t run for long either. Canes are meant for power. Not for endurance and that’s what running takes.
@@richardsantana3033 facts...
This was very helpful 🏃🏾♀️
I run and mountain bike with my Australian Cattle Dog, the Blue Heeler variation. She is a beast when we go down hill biking off leash. Every once in a while her prey drive kicks in but she is so loyal that after 5 seconds of chase she always runs back and catches up! I’d put a ACD on here for sure. Plus, they are part dingo, they are super resilient to nature.
I haven't finished watching but I really hope that Doberman makes the list. They have a ridiculous amount of stamina and they pace themselves well. Shepherds are good too but in the heat their double coat makes human running temperatures a bit uncomfortable for them and they can Tucker out from the heat sooner than really serious runners may like. Dobbies love a long run and they have the stamina and obedient nature to keep up for a very long decent pace run. The short coat bias on your part seems very wise in my experience, at least in PA where we have 90 degree extremely humid temps. But my GSD loves to run in the cooler temps, but depending on how cool the temperature is, my stamina can diminish before his sometimes.
He completely left them off despite the fact they were bred from the Weimeranner and the German Short Haired Pinsher (and the Rottie). Amazing exercise dogs to run with and their stamina beats every dog he listed. Except the Malamute, but that coat makes him impractical for most southern states. Of course greyhounds are very fast but do not typically pace.
My neighbor have a german shorthair pointer that we here in Brazil call it "americano". I pick my mom miniature pinscher and go walk together with this americano dog, that dog has so much energy! But unfortunately early in it's life may have some joint problems.
My standard poodle make good running mate.
GSP FTW! I've taken my GSP upwards of 13-16 miles on runs. Training for our first timed half marathon and hope to be training for our first marathon next year. ✌️
I run with my APBT, he’s learning to be a jogging dog but at first it was full on sprinting and if he saw a dog or a bird he’d turn on sport mode
Queens 88 practice definitely makes progress, once they learn to focus on pace and destination , jogging can be very mentally stimulating for dogs
@@lordmoldybutt36
Agreed. Once you get the dogs into a routine, they focus on the journey and don't easily get distracted.
Some of these dogs aint good runners in colder temperature. You live in south florida i live in finland it get almost -40celsius can ridgeback run all day in there no it would be dead im thankful you put malamute and husky in there but its not enough they are alike and some dosent want their personality. But whats goes to rest its good video.
ps. like Australian Cattle dog has the coat and running material in it. So it would be good dog for runner and it dosent get that hot in hot and not cold in cold so i think its The best running dog
Australian Kelpie mate. Short coat, healthy and smart. Oh and a working Kelpie will cover over 70km per day so it will make any runner happy .
Dobermann run 4ever! nice vid tho
He obviously has never got on a skateboard or bike with a Doberman. I have owned several and several Pit Bulls. They are both good dogs for riding with but once the Dobe learns to pace he can run further than the Pit who has a shorter wider snout and will start panting after a few miles and you have to stop...Let me stress, Pit Bulls will not stop, but you have to stop because the panting becomes too much. The breed never stops at anything LOL. Dobes go on and on and on...they not only run further they run faster. Every single Dobe I had could beat every Pit I had running. APBT are great for a few miles...Neither breed may be great for the novice exerciser due to their high prey drive and you have to train both (especially the Dobe) how to pace. However, Dobes were bred for running MUCH more than Am Staffs were. They were personal protection dogs that Dobermann wanted to be mobile and able to patrol large areas of land.
Great list and with you doing a vid a day in may I understand how there could be a few breeds missing that possibly could have made ur list! Just too many good runners!
could you do a video on scottish deerhound, would love to know more about the breed and you're the man
for my husky i play ball during the day and then walk at night right before bed. kills her energy and keeps her from overheating and helps protect her paws from the hot pavement. in the winter we go earlier or to local parks. since it stays around 65-75F Lows 30s-40sF, She does fairly well.
You're making May a great month.
I have a standard poodle she was my partner to training LA MARATHON. ( 60 miles a week she ran with me )
Poodles are tough dogs, but I think Zeke doesn't like them.
I'm really surprised & i'm not believing that you didn't add the Doberman Pinschers, or the Belgian Malinois to your top 10😱Why not a Doberman Pinscher? They absolutely love love love to run run & run some more....
maybe because they are working class dogs, and if u have them just for running the owner will often have to do other dogsports as well to keep them busy.
@@klomo13 with a Doberman Pinscher you always have to keep them busy, such as the Labradors, & the Ridgebacks.... I should know i've owned Dobies & Labs, damn near my whole life, since i was 13yrs old back in 1977
@@klomo13 What? I have exercised with Dobermans on bikes for years. What are you talking about? They are one of the easiest breeds to train if you have half an ass. I would not jog with one though, they are too fast. At least having a bike or skateboard making them work helps.
@@klomo13 Are you aware of the prey drive of a Malamute? I have owned a couple...and Dobes. Malamutes are more head strong, are not easy to train, and will run off after squirells and small prey even more than the Dobe--which can at least be trained. Malamutes also are dog aggressive for the most part, which means you will have issues in any confrontation. They can run forever, but hate the heat, and do their own thing. They rank way down the list in trainability.
Basically if your dog has 4 legs it’s a good running campaign haha
Great video man it was really good I learned a lot
Yo, your channel is fantastic , I am a dog maniac and for the most part I love your channel, thank you!
Good List 💯% Agreed
Really good list and I appreciate the prioritization of attributes because I always see lists including dogs that were bred for sprinting for runners. Who the hell wants a sprinting partner lol?
My Belgian Malinois is good for running. She has a lot of energy and is very focused so she doesn’t chase rodents, only pays attention to other people but she doesn’t both them. She is trained so she knows “heel”, which is great.
My Australian Shepherd has become a GOOD runner. Not perfect but he keeps a great pace and his stamina is decent
yes, they are good runners too!
Another awesome vid, I'm a big guy n I try to work out wen I can so my luv goes out to rotties, bull dogs, & Dogo argentinos, please don't stop the vids 👍👏👏👏🏆
Top social dogs? Sounds dumb maybe but hey man I''m just tryna help u out brother 🤷🏾♂️
Great idea!
Love this month! Great work!
Great video!
Love it. Great list. I’ve always see the Viszla mentioned as a great running partner. I wasn’t aware that it was also good for protection too. My running dog was a rough collie. So smart. Great off Leash too. Unfortunately as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become very allergic to dogs. How about a list of dogs that are someone hypoallergenic, great running and family dogs? I’ve been looking into the standard and giant schnauzer. But I haven’t found any breeders in Miami. I’d definitely look for a low energy dog if there’s such a thing.
Have you made sure you are not reacting to the schnauzer? If you can borrow one and keep it in your home for a few days, that is the best way to tell, but keep in mind that different dogs of the same breed may have different levels of allergens.
If you're allergic to dog dandruff some breeds might work for you, if it's the saliva you react to you are pretty much allergic to the whole dog.
Emma Blomqvist no. I haven’t. I’ve only been with a standard schnauzer that hadn’t been bathed. And I seemed to be ok. Thats just it. Is not a common dog in Miami. I’d love nothing more than to meet someone with a giant to see if I’d be ok. I’ve noticed that I’m a lot less allergic to small dogs than large ones. :/
@@vivalapete7504 I hope you'll find a dog that works for you!
I have a blue heeler. I do about 60 mi per week in the summer with 90° - 100° weather. He still wants to go home after the run and play fetch. I noticed a lot of dogs are just not made for heat. I guess a lot of humans aren't made for the heat as well. I guess it just depends.
My GWP is a wonderful running partner!!! Great video!
Nice list! German short haired pointers are one of my favourites!
Amazing! I'm actually walking and short sprinting with my healthy OEB, he loves it! It takes us about 30 min a day or sometimes the hour. Been taking him from little to a lot to condition him and make him go the distance.
