West Highland White Terrier Exercise Needs

These little dogs need a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs that do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe, open area off lead, such as a large, fenced-in yard.

Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

When most people think of pet dogs, they think about playful, bouncing bundles of fur. There are numerous breeds of dogs out there, and various of them do require a good amount of physical exercise.

They need a big backyard to run about in all day so that they can expend all that pent-up energy. Nonetheless, there are other breeds that are on the opposite end of the spectrum. If you do not have enough time or energy to play with your pet for several hours a day, then there are specific breeds ideal for your lifestyle.

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 terrific snuggle partners.

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

3. Basset Hound - They are really lazy canines that are delicate and affectionate towards their families. Although they require little exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.

4. Shih Tzu - Shih Tzus tend to not be especially keen on going outdoors. Many times, they will get plenty of exercise simply walking the apartment all day.

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