Calling all Husky owners..

Seems like several herding breed would fit his requirements. Maybe look at a Smooth Collie. Low maintenance coat, although be warned it does shed. Very trainable and very good off leash. Generally not prone to escapism. Active enough for jogging and outdoor activities. They make good draft dogs, being big enough to carry a back pack. Both of mine are frisbee dogs too. Big drawback is they can be barkers and when they bark it's loud.

Here's a pic of Oz out on a hike:
