Thought I’d resolve this by taking a poll. For the record, I’m on the YES side.
Ditto. I love seeing dogs on the trail when I’m running or riding. I find children to be much more unpredictable.
Another Yes.
I run my dog,and my wife runs me.
"I find children to be much more unpredictable. "
Or their parents! And that Newfie that you own might be mistaken for a black bear in our area.
Yes … if on your property.
Yes … if leashed AND under control.
No … if running unleashed (or out of contrl) in a place that is open to the public.
Was this suppossed to be a simple “Yes” or “No” question? HaHaHa.

Unfortunately, my son has passed…
hello I am TT and I am annoying
Anymore that is just implied. Maybe I can work that into a signature line.

I have a solution. I am going to trade our German Shepard in for a lap dog. One of those little genetic engineered yip yaps that quivers all the time. Then, I will proceed to carry him in a backpack while I run. I am considering a basket for my bike but am afraid my Easton carbon bars will not work with a basket since they are not to be used with clip ons. I will then be able to run and ride with my dog while not causing mental anquish to those who might otherwise see me running with my current dog.
Yes
.
LOL.
As we speak I am organizing a “Man’s Best Friend” (sorry, no cats … or tigers) triathlon. Man and dog will swim, bike and ride, side-by-side … no leashes.
Dogs are allowed wetsuits, and the option of shaving your dog’s legs is up to you. Every dog will be required to wear a bandana around its neck that matches your cycling/running jersey.
There will be a consolation prize to the man/dog group that resemble each other the most.
Only dogs will be allowed to sniff crotches.
crothes, clothes, or crotches?
Yes
My second ever 5k was one sponsored by a vet school. Running with your dog was required, they even loaned out dogs if you needed one. We came in second place overall, we lost to a girl with a toy poodle! My doberman didn’t speak to me for a week.
You should see this dobe, she is gorgeous with a beautiful red coat. After 5 years of running marathon training, and sometimes double volume marathon training (I would train in the AM and my wife in the PM the dog goes every time) - always on a leash unless in a leash-free designated park - she is built! A huge deep chest, rippling muscles, and huge chiseled muscles on what passes for quads, glutes and hamstrings. She is a running machine, at 10 years old she could break 30mph for a mile! Her highest volume day was 44 miles in a straight line but no telling how much farther she ran. I wish we had gotten her when she was younger.

For me its “NO”.
I have a Rottweiler and that lazy bastard has no interest. Maybe if I’d use a treadmill he might lay next to it and I could keep a leash at hand.
