    Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

    When most people think about pet dogs, they think of playful, jumping bundles of fur. There are numerous breeds of dogs out there, and many of them do require a great amount of exercise.

    They need a large backyard to run about in all day so that they can expend all that pent-up energy. Nevertheless, 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 pooch for several hours a day, then there are certain breeds best for your way of living.

    Here are some dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

    1. Chow Chow - They usually 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 friends.

    2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred mainly as a lapdog and friend, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel succeeds at its original job. The breed is delicate, affectionate 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 soft and affectionate towards their families. Although they require small exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.

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

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

Alopekis Information

Alopekis populations existed until recently all over Greece and some of their traditional uses were ratting and the extermination of mice and other small vermin, as well as protection of poultry, such as domestic chickens and ducks from the attacks of foxes; the small dogs can easily fit in the hen coops and curl up inside to spend the night on vigil against their namesake intruder; they also co-operate very well with the bigger flock- guardians and sheepdogs in the farm and on the field. The breed is an excellent and brave little watchdog and quite strong for its size. Before the mass importation of foreign breeds to Greece that started in the 1970s and '80s, the undisputed majority of small dogs in urban and rural areas were mostly Alopekis and Melieo Kynidio or Kokoni.

The Alopekis as a house companion is very affectionate, reliable, devoted, lively, active but not highly-strung nor yappy dog. The typical temperament is confident, outgoing, sociable, happy and very easy to train. Protective and caring towards the other house pets or animals, yet a determined enemy of vermin, a very diligent little worker, a capable hunter and retriever of game and quite playful. The breed is very good with children.
