might check for heartworms...i think no stamina is a sign of that.

It might help to know morw about dog in question. How old is the dog? Is this a recent occurrence or has the dog always done this? Is the dog in good shape and excersized/run regularly?

You might want to have the dog checked for heartworm. It might just be a case of building up it's stamina with more time afield.

Might try checking them for worms or it might be the dog food you are using, just some suggestions.

the dog might have low potassiom, suggest taking him in for blood work.

How conditioned is the dog, has it been steadily exercised. If so I would have my vet check it out, I am with the others, sounds like heart worms.

Sunny is right I bought one that did the same thing, his prevois owner had him checked and found he had low pottasium. I give atleast 10 mg/day seems to be okay.

What are you feeding the dog?

I understand that Lyme will cause a dog to quit.
