Your Next Workout Partner may be Four-Legged!

Dogs can be great workout partners, but some breeds are better than others when it comes to different work outs. A study in the journal of physical activity and health says that dog owners average about 160 minutes of physical activity a week. So what dog breed is the best for your workout? Health magazine has a list and... It depends on what you like to do. If you live by a beach or a lake an English springer spaniel, poodle or a lab will be your best fit and race you to shore. If you're exercise routine is really just working your upper body in the form of throwing a Frisbee or ball find friendship with and Australian shepherd or a border collie. If it's cold where you are then huskies will be your favorite cold weather friend for outdoor winter sports. Golden retrievers, beagles and Dalmatians like a good hike. While a Corgi likes a leisurely walk… And who can blame them with those legs. And the best dog to have by your side? A shelter dog!
