The Shetland Sheepdog is not only insanely smart and playful but loves to run. These dogs are a herding breed so you can expect for them to keep up with you no matter the pace!

2. Australian Shepherd

Aussies are also herding dogs that are born to run. These pups can herd anything from cattle to sheep. When running with an Aussie be sure to expect an ankle bit every so often.

Corgis may have short legs and big ears, but these pups are fast on their paws! Corgis are athletes at heart and excel at running. Don’t let the short legs fool you, these doggies can run!

4. Labrador Retriever

Labs are water-loving dogs that also don’t mind going for a run or for a hike. However, if you’re an avid swimmer, a Lab is the perfect dog for you. Don’t forget to bring some driftwood with you!

5. Bernese Mountain Dog

It's the first day of spring. It's also 3 years since I brought this fur creature home. So here's to another season full of camp sleeps with my favorite girl doing all our favorite things. @campingwithdogs #koda

As the name says, this dog is another mountain-lover. The Bernese Mountain Dog is the perfect hiking companion. You can expect to hike with this dog without a leash since they are easily trained.

6. Tibetan Terrier

Tibetan Terriers may be small in size but they are fearless in the outdoors! These pups love retrieving as well as climbing. The perfect dog for a mountainside hike!

The Pointer is a great dog for someone who enjoys the outdoors, especially hiking. If you are a hunter, this is the breed for you. Pointers are bred to hunt and retrieve small animals, such as quail, possum and even deer.

8. Siberian Husky

Huskies are bred to be hardworking dogs. In their natural state, these pups are meant to pull heavy sleds through snow and ice. While Huskies aren’t great in hot weather, they are your perfect workout partner on cold days.
