Harrier Exercise Needs

Harriers will make excellent jogging companions and if not taken on a daily jog, they need to be taken on a long, daily, brisk walk. While out on the walk make sure the dog heels 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 playful, hopping bundles of fur. There are many different breeds of dogs out there, and many of them do require a good amount of physical activity.

They need a large backyard to run about in all day so that they can exhaust all that pent-up energy. Although, there are other breeds that are on the reverse end of the spectrum. If you do not have enough time or energy to play with your dog for many hours a day, then there are certain breeds perfect for your way of living.

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

1. Chow Chow - They 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 great cuddle buddies.

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

3. Basset Hound - They are very lazy pet dogs that are delicate and affectionate 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 often tend to not be specifically fond of going outdoors. Many times, they will get plenty of exercise simply walking the apartment all day.

5. Boston Terrier - Their weight often maxes out at 25 pounds, so even if you are limited to a studio apartment, this pooch will not mind. Boston Terriers are rather less active. One walk a day is all you need to assure these dogs get a good workout.
