Affenpinscher Exercise Needs

    Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

    When most people think of canines, they think of jolly, bouncing bundles of fur. There are countless breeds of dogs out there, and many of them do require a great amount of exercise.

    They need a big backyard to run all around in all day so that they can expend all that pent-up energy. However, 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 pooch for many hours a day, then there are specific breeds ideal for your way of living.

    Here are several dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

    1. Chow Chow - They have a tendency to be relatively 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 great snuggle buddies.

    2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred mainly as a lapdog and companion, 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 very lazy dogs that are delicate and passionate towards their loved ones. Although they require little exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.

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

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

Affenpinscher Information

The affenpinscher is square-proportioned, compact and sturdy, with medium bone. It is a smaller version of a working terrier, and as such is not a delicate dog. This is an active, tough dog that is agile enough to catch and dispatch rats and mice. Its gait is light, sound and confident. The affenpinscher has a monkeylike facial expression with long eyebrows and beard, which lends it an air of comic seriousness. This breed's rough coat is about 1 inch long on its body and somewhat longer on its head, neck, chest, stomach and legs. The coat type provided protection from vermin and harsh conditions.

The affenpinscher lives up to its name — "monkey terrier" — in both looks and actions. A terrier at heart, it is busy, inquisitive, bold and stubborn, but it also loves to monkey around, being playful and mischievous. It tends to bark and even climb. Unlike most terriers, it is fairly good with other dogs and pets. This little dog is best with a family that likes entertainment and has a very good sense of humor.
