Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds
They need a big backyard to run around in all day so that they can expend all that pent-up energy. Though, there are various other breeds that are on the reverse end of the spectrum. If you do not have enough time or energy to play with your pooch for several hours a day, then there are particular breeds best for your way of life.
Here are a few dog breeds that prefer napping over running.
1. Chow Chow - They tend to be fairly aloof, but their independent nature means it will not mind when you leave for work in the morning. They can get over 70 pounds in weight, but they make wonderful cuddle companions.
2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred primarily as a lapdog and friend, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel excels at its original job. The breed is gentle, affectionate and would much rather be inside next to you than doing any sort of vigorous activity.
3. Basset Hound - They are very lazy dogs that are soft and passionate towards their families. Although they require little bit of exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.
4. Shih Tzu - Shih Tzus tend to not be particularly keen on going outside. Many times, they will get plenty of exercise simply walking the apartment all day.
5. Boston Terrier - Their weight commonly maxes out at 25 pounds, so even if you are constrained to a studio apartment, this pooch will not mind. Boston Terriers are fairly inactive. One walk a day is all you need to ensure these dogs get a good workout.
