   Sorry, I can't do much more than guess, which isn't that helpful to you.   
   I can offer you some resources that might help. This page has some running   
   as well as hiking links

   Yeah, if someone is looking fo a jogging partner I'm always going to   
   recommend the larger dogs. They are built for it.  The diffrence between   
   structures good for speed and those suited for endurance get more   
   exaggerated as the dog gets smaller.  I just don't know how to tell you   
   what the cut-off would be.
