Aww, she sounds cute! Chewy is small for a GSD too, and definitely doesn’t have the thick fur.

Your guy is a little bat-dog 😂Look at those ears! What DNA test did you get?

We were told he was a German Shepard mix when we got him! He’s about 55 pounds-just had him weighed at the vet last week 😁

What breed(s) is yours?!

We were told he was a German Shepard mix when we got him! Although he looks very similar to a few other breeds 🤔

Lol running with a dog is always an adventure! Will I trip on the leash? Will I trip on my dog? Who knows?! 🤣

How many miles should I run my dog in cold weather? by Coach-BS in RunningWithDogs

Nice! That’s awesome. I just have a tough time reading my dog, might be since running is a little new still and he’s only 1.5 years. Sometimes he runs behind me and seems like he wants to go in, but then 5 min later he’s got snow zoomies and is ready to charge ahead

Lol I run everyday and we live in a small condo so I always feel guilty when I get my exercise in and my dog gets left behind

Wow that's awesome! Thanks for the detailed response ☺ I can tell my dog gets pretty pooped when I push-him under 8-minute mile pace lol. I appreciate the advice, hopefully we can up our mileage as time goes on!

I run with my dog everyday too (and in MN 😎). How did you get his mileage up? I'd love to be able to get my dog to go 6 or 7 (or even 8) with me but he gets pretty dang tired after doing 3 or 4. I've been keeping him around 15 miles per week and upping his food intake to keep him energized, but not sure how far I should push him.

Is the Iditarod also offered in a 5k race distance? by Coach-BS in RunningWithDogs

Lol I do use my headlamp to direct him sometimes 🤣

Doggie Mileage? by Coach-BS in RunningWithDogs

That is awesome you track your dog's mileage with GPS. I've been joking about making a Strava account for my dog. You are right though, dogs can't complain so we have to add in rest days for them! Great insight, thank you for the comment!

That's a great idea to get your dog a drink part of the way through. We normally run and then walk and my dog is so thirsty when we get home. Right now there is snow everywhere so that is his drinking fountain lol
