Love being outside with my dog, I am sure your dog will love being outside with me (I know mine does)! I am a big fan of the dog friendly parks and trails here in COS. It doesn't get much better than catching a Rocky Mountain sunrise with your best furry friend by your side and warm coffee in your hand. I also like to take jogs and hangout at other dog friendly venues around town. I typically prefer long- haired and -oodle mixes, I just find them easier to keep clean. Personally, I have a half Collie half Bernese 75 lb. fluffy 2ish year old guy who loves to run and play in the water that I got at a shelter here in town--- He is great, love 'em!
