What small or medium sized dog breeds are good to run with?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I would probably recommend the North American Shepherd (mini Australian Shepherd) as well. Small and agile, I think one would be an excellent running partner.
Another possibility is the Beagle. Small and bred to run all day in packs for hunting.
I would caveat that the kids need to be dog-friendly -- I usually don't recommend small (under 30 lb) dogs for families with kids because they can get hurt easier. Jack Russells may be a bit too active and not kid-friendly.

Downside: the high energy. Especially as pups, they can make you nuts with their need for exercise. Cute little buggers, though.
Good luck on your search!
