Before I herniated my back and my Yorkie devloped Addissons, we used to run together every day. Now, I am NOT a "runner" -certainly not becoming a track star in my next life, but did enjoy traill running and he did enjoy bunny hunting at the same time. He's a bigger yorkie - 8 pounds and leggy and as you can tell from my bunny hunting story - very "drivey" - sort of a Jack Russl in yorkie clothing (mind you, I don't recommend JRTs to people who live in small spaces and who cannot give them the exercise they crave. But if you are an active person without small children, they ARE a great breed too!). My other Yorkie is a total princess and wont even gait around a ring if the temperature is high and the grass is long. She's also smaller, finer boned and all around more "delicate." So, you could find a nice running partner in a Yorkie but you'll need to pick your dog carefully, keeping in mind what you need. I'd favor bigger Yorkies who are playful and active. |
