All of mine would be (or would have been) terrible jogging partners. You really need to get a larger and less spastic breed for that.

Even when mine were young enough to do that for a few hundred yards or even a mile or two, they are very easily distracted. Training them to not be distracted by other dogs, animals or even interesting smells that can stop them in their tracks after they have been running at close to full speed, would be miraculous.

Who knows, maybe you could get lucky with a particular Yorkie like Barney's mom in the previous post, but not only do I think its a physical impossibility for most Yorkies (especially with a smaller one), but I think you would need to find an exceptional one to even have a chance. How many Yorkies have you seen going for a run or jog vs. the usual breeds...I have seen zero except for very short sprints.
