    Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

    When most people think of pet dogs, they think of happy, hopping bundles of fur. There are several breeds of dogs out there, and various of them do require a great amount of physical activity.

    They need a large backyard to run about in all day so that they can exhaust all that pent-up energy. Though, there are other breeds that are on the opposed end of the spectrum. If you do not have the time or energy to play with your pet for several hours a day, then there are certain breeds perfect for your life-style.

    Here are a few dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

    1. Chow Chow - They tend to be rather 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 excellent snuggle partners.

    2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred mainly as a lapdog and friend, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel shines at its original job. The breed is delicate, affectionate 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 tender 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 specifically keen on going outside. 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 pretty less active. One walk a day is all you need to guarantee these dogs get a good workout.

Bouvier des Flandres Information

This is a versatile breed able to perform a variety of functions, including cattle herder, draft dog and guard. As such, it combines great strength with agility and endurance. The bouvier is a compact, short-coupled dog, of square proportion and rugged appearance. Its gait is free, bold and proud. Its weatherproof coat is tousled and double, with a fine undercoat and a harsh, dry outer coat. It is trimmed (if necessary) to a length of about 2.5 inches. The head is accentuated by a beard and moustache, which adds to the dog's bold and alert expression.

The bouvier is a steady, stalwart companion that is loyal, devoted, fearless and protective. Given daily exercise, it is calm and well-mannered indoors, but ready for an adventure in the great outdoors. It is independent and confident of its own judgment, yet biddable and willing to please. It can be domineering. It is reserved, even protective, toward strangers and can be aggressive with strange dogs. It is very good with children, although it may nip at heels in play.
