Fit Dogs: Here are the 10 breeds of adorable dog that love lots of exercise - including the active Vizsla 🐕

If you are looking for a dog that won’t let you lie on the couch for long then these are the breeds that love a good run.

A huge number of us decided to welcome new puppies into our homes over the last few years – UK Kennel Club figures show dog ownership has soared to record levels.

Around one-in three UK households now include at least one four-legged friend.

There are a whopping 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds, so there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your family’s latest addition.

Our lifestyle has a huge bearing on which type of dog will work best for us – if you have limited space you might want to look at small dogs, while the more elderly pet owner should place certain breeds at the top of their wishlist.

For many of us, a dog is a great way to make sure we get exercise and certain breeds are perfect for getting you out and about – in fact, if you’re not prepared for several long walks a day some dogs shouldn't even be a consideration.

Here are the 10 fittest breeds of dog that will never turn down a walk, according to the American Kennel Club.
