Hop, Skip and a Jump

All dogs should get as much exercise as possible – a good walk and a run everyday. But most small dog breeds, for example Toy dogs such as Pugs, Maltese or Yorkshire Terriers, will get the majority of their required exercise needs just be walking, running and playing around indoors.

Some dog breeds have so much energy and are so active that if you don’t give them a sufficient workout everyday – a long walk and hard run – their pent up energy will quite likely manifest itself in destructive behavior.

So if you don’t have time to exercise your dog every day, choose a breed who doesn’t have high exercise requirements. All of the breeds which require high amounts of exercise make great jogging, hiking, and ridding companions. So if you want your dog to accompany you on long runs choose one of these highly active breeds built for endurance.
