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

    3. Basset Hound - They are really lazy dogs that are soft and caring towards their loved ones. Although they require small exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.

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

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

The skin of a Boerboel should be dark on his stomach and under his fur, as well as the roof of his mouth, which protects against heat and sun. The coat is short, dense coat can be brindle, brown, cream, reddish brown or tawny.

The Boerboel is self assured and fearless. It is highly devoted to family and affectionate with children it knows, but can be aggressive toward strangers.
