Why Breed Matters
A Border Collie needs 3x more exercise than a French Bulldog. Understanding your breed's energy level is the foundation of a good walking routine.
High Energy Breeds (90-120 min/day)
Border Collie, Husky, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever — these breeds thrive with 2-3 long walks daily.
Medium Energy (60-90 min/day)
Labrador, Beagle, Standard Poodle — solid 2 walks per day keeps them happy.
Low Energy (30-60 min/day)
French Bulldog, Pug, Bulldog — shorter walks, watch for overheating in brachycephalic breeds.
