Run Around Yorkie! Hello there, My husband and I just got a new Yorkie puppy! She is such a doll...but a lot of work (as all puppies are). Anyway, I am a runner and plan to eventually would love to take our Yorkie (Luna) running with me when she gets old enough. Though I am unsure if Yorkies are good "running dogs", and I wouldn't want to push her too hard. I was wondering if any of you run with your Yorkies and if so how long do you go running with them? How long is a good distance for them? I appreciate all your help! Happy Yorkie January 11th! |
Welcome to YT! I think your yorkie girl could run with you, as long as you first worked on leash training so she got the hang of it (and learned to stay out from underfoot), and had had her work up to it. My girls can walk about 2 miles without getting too tired...but they sort of "trot" quickly alongside me. I would start with just down the street, then around the block, etc., and see how she does. |
It also depends on how good a runner You are I don't think a Yorkie will have any trouble with an avg paced .... low to moderate run But if your a long distance runner or if you really hit the road at a good clip you're going to have to remember that these are little guys and don't have the stamina or the gait of larger dogs Take your dog on a run for a few blocks first and see how she does |
