i would nt run any dog for 10 miles..just my personal opinion of course..

dog s tend to over heat much faster than us and you ll need a constant supply of
water..and if they do drink too much there s a real danger or bloating..running on
a hard surface over time will endanger paws and joints..just as you would protect
yourself against injury to your feet and joints while running with the proper foot wear..
dogs need that same amount of consideration..

its a nice to have a companion running with you..if its just excercise you want to give
your doodle..a mile is plenty a couple time s a day..some walking, jogging and running
makes for a healthy strong doggie
