The worst thing they have to deal with is occasional blisters on their feet. I have generally had retrievers, and I know sight hounds are born runners so maybe they'd like it more.

I have never tried to carry a dog in a trailer except for one dog I had that got very old and found it more comfortable squeezing between the kids in the Chariot.

If riding on dirt or gravel or single track trails, the bike speed goes down and the interest for the dogs goes up so multiple hours on the mtb trails is preferable to me.
