going strong!
How far do you two run? We were out for a 10-miler yesterday, including a tough climb up a bigass hill to a Medeival signal tower. And the last couple Km were in an ice-storm - GREAT!
'course, nowadays, he still has his speed, but his endurance is offstep...and he's sore afterwards (it's hell getting old, no?) Border Collie/Black Lab mix? My friends have one (which it's sort of mine judging how he responds to me) named Booda (or Boo Boo's, as he's sometimes called). Looks like Jet, though he has a white chest and - as of late - some white around the muzzle (Booda is 9 y/o). We used to try and wear him out by playing ball with him...only after it was too late we realized we were not wearing him out, but building up his endurance
I highly recommend checking out an inmate dog program through your local shelter. I got Jet through the Inmate Dog Alliance Program of Idaho. Jet spent two months at the prison being trained by inmates, supervised by a professional dog trainer. We adopted him when he graduated the program. He was trained in regular obedience (sit, lay down, stay, kennel, come, etc.) and a few fun tricks like shake, high 5, play dead.
