I'm looking for a trainable canine running companion (please no jokes about my ex-wife) .
Just over age 60 so no greyhounds for me. Friends say any Lab will do, all women say Labradoodle ( a Lab made in a lab) Willing to be patient and work with same to train. I live in NH so it has to put up with some harsh winters.
I like the intelligence and personality of some Terriers (Welsh is supposed to be quite good), but some folks say they can be feisty and have a mind of their own and so are hard to train.
I don't want to get tangled up in a leash and falling or have a dog that jerks to a sudden stop to smell old urine, etc. I see others jog with dogs without problems.
Suggestions, please?
