Dog Breeds That Can Keep Up With A Horse? Dog Breed Discussions
Hey I trail ride quite a bit and I'm often gone trail riding for a few days at a time - sometimes even a week or two!! I would like a dog for company on these trail rides. I currently have a labrador mixed with a grey hound and although she's fast enough to keep up with my horse she can't run for as long and gets tired very easily. I can usually only go out for a few hours with her because she gets so tired. I've tried looking this up but all the forums only say how fast the dog can run, but I need a dog that also has the stamina to run literally all day at the same speed as my horse for days in a row. I need a dog with astounding stamina.Can anyone give some suggestions of a dog with great stamina?? It would also need to be a fairly large dog (between thigh and waist height)!! Does anyone have any suggestions?? I was thinking perhaps a Malinois or an Anatolian Shepherd... Any suggestions??Oh my horse is a mustang and he has been clocked at 43mph before over quite a long stretch!! Just think of the movie Hildago people...I would also need a dog that can stand running for a long time in the heat!! I live in a fairly hot place. Also a waterloving dog would be great since sometimes we have to cross rivers on our trail rides!!
