Labradors/dogs and cycling? – Page 2 – Bike Forum

Looking at getting a dog in the next few months to have as a pet and to take riding. A labrador seemed to fitting the bill nicely until someone said to me that labs can only run for relatively short distances (3 or so miles). So question is, Does anyone have a lab they take for regular 10/15 or more mile rides? Is any dog capable of doing this that doesn't need a small field to live in at all other times (border collie!)? Cheers, Stuart.

I have my Choc Lab with me virtually every ride. He has done 20 miles+ previously but really he is happiest over about an hour or so. He is a big 44kg and massively strong.
He is on this video chasing me down the North Shore at Sherwood Pines

He must eat a mountain of food to be that fat and do 20 mile runs all the time!

I think it may have been awhile since he ran 20 miles. 😯
