Bernese Mountain Dog Exercise Needs

The Bernese Mountain Dog must be taken outside regularly because it is very fond of exercise and the outdoors. Bernese Mountain Dogs enjoy cold weather and love to run and play off the leash whenever possible. Avoid strenuously exercising the Bernese Mountain Dog when young as it needs all of its energy to put on weight and build strong bones and joints.

Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

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

They need a large backyard to run about in all day so that they can exhaust 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 dog for several hours a day, then there are certain breeds perfect for your life-style.

Here are several dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

1. Chow Chow - They have a tendency to be fairly 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 snuggle partners.

2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred mainly as a lapdog and buddy, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel excels at its original job. The breed is gentle, 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 dogs that are gentle 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 tend to not be especially keen on 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 fairly inactive. One walk a day is all you need to make sure these dogs get a good workout.
