Border Collie

The high-drive Border Collie would help keep any owner fit, as their energetic nature requires more exercise than just a walk around the block or playing in the yard. If owners don鈥檛 have cows or sheep available for Herding practice, running would be a great activity to tire out the Border Collie.

Dalmatian

The Dalmatian has a working heritage as a 鈥渃oach dog,鈥� in which they ran alongside horse-drawn carriages for miles.

It requires Dals to run alongside a horse in a staged situation, a perfect environment for this high-energy breed. The breed鈥檚 endurance makes it a great running companion.
