Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Exercise Needs

Moderate exercise is needed, however they do need to be taken on a daily, long walk, where the dog is made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, never in front, as instinct tells a dog the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human.

Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

When most people think of pet dogs, they think of cheerful, jumping bundles of fur. There are many different breeds of dogs out there, and many of them do require a great amount of physical activity.

They need a large backyard to run around in all day so that they can use up all that pent-up energy. Nevertheless, there are other breeds that are on the opposed 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 specific breeds best for your way of life.

Here are a few dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

1. Chow Chow - They often tend to be relatively aloof, but their independent nature means it will not mind when you commit for work in the morning. They can get over 70 pounds in weight, but they make good snuggle mates.

2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred primarily as a lapdog and partner, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel shines at its original job. The breed is soft, affectionate and would much rather be inside next to you than doing any sort of vigorous activity.

3. Basset Hound - They are really lazy pet dogs that are gentle and caring towards their loved ones. Although they require small exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.

4. Shih Tzu - Shih Tzus tend to not be particularly fond of going outdoors. Many times, they will get lots of exercise simply walking around the apartment all day.

5. Boston Terrier - Their weight typically maxes out at 25 pounds, so even if you are restricted to a studio apartment, this pooch will not mind. Boston Terriers are quite inactive. One walk a day is all you need to guarantee these dogs get a good workout.
