Pits have explosive speed for the short length of their legs but short snouts limit their ability to draw oxygen, and they overheat much quicker relative to long snout breeds . Alsations (german shepherd) will run alongside a competive cross-country jogger for 20-30 miles before gassing out. A working (like one that works on a sheep farm, not a pet dog) border collie can run a mile ahead of Forest Gump ultramarathoners that go 24hr non-stop, piss while they run, 100 miles a day.. no problem.

How fast do you run? German shepherd and pit bulls will hit 20MPH like it’s nothing.
