Australian Shepherds

To be happy, Aussies need more than a walk around the block. Fetching a frisbee for hours is their favourite game.

English Springer Spaniels

Springer Spaniels love making a splash in your local pond. If not exercised daily, they can develop anxiety problems.

Border Collies

Play fetch with Collies and they'll quickly bond with you. They really excel at learning new tricks.

Russell Terriers

Their endless energy is perfect for outdoorsy people. They'll prefer a game of chase over jogging alongside you.

Weimaraner

This furless buddy will run at your side for miles. Be aware that they might become distressed if they don't get enough activity.
