I wouldn't recommend any breed or cross breed, it's a personal choice best made after a lot of homework and leg work to meet the various types.
most dogs can handle a fair amount of exercise when they are mature.

Never said that my missus and I both work full time too mate.
We have 2 EPs, Given we live in town I would not think with a 5 km run daily and kennel the rest (or most) of the time the neighbors would be very happy. Never mind the dogs.

Our own dogs get 6-7km off lead exercise every night (rain hail or shine) , and I mean every night) which takes commitment on our part.

Yep, dogs need a life too, there are some who seem to think your mutt is like a wind up toy that you get out when it suits.
