With the exception of sled dogs, most dog breeds are optimized for short bursts of speed, not running long distances. I wouldn't go more than a mile or two at most if you're at anything more than a brisk walk.

ETA: also, be very, very careful in hot weather. Dogs don't dissipate heat well.

Right, I know someone who was running w/ his lab in the summer in BR and the dog had heat stroke and died.
