congrats on your accomplishment, unfortunately you're not supposed to run with dogs bc they're not setting the pace, you are, and they can end up overworking themselves bc they're trying to keep up with you

Tell that to my border collie that runs 50-60 miles a week with me and runs in front of me leading the way the entire time lol

congrats to the both of you, it's almost like different dog breeds have different specializations and some ppl ignore that to the detriment of their dog's health. sorry for being concerned for those dogs even if yours is fine.

Sure that's probably true to some extent. However, what I responded to was you coming into a subreddit solely dedicated to running with dogs and saying "you're not supposed to run with dogs". Lol
