Boykin Spaniel Exercise Needs

The Boykin Spaniel is a working dog and needs a lot of daily exercise, including a long, brisk daily walk, where the dog is heeling beside or behind you; never in front, as in a dog’s mind, pack leader goes first. They have a high drive and are very willing. This is an intensely energetic dog that needs adequate exercise and a “job” to do daily to burn off energy and exercise its very nimble mind. They will find ways to entertain themselves if not provided by their owner and can be very destructive when bored or when their primal instinct to walk has not been fulfilled.

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 various of them do need a great amount of exercise.

They need a large backyard to run all around in all day so that they can use up all that pent-up energy. Though, there are other breeds that are on the opposite 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 specific breeds best for your way of life.

Here are some dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

1. Chow Chow - They usually tend to be fairly 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 fantastic cuddle friends.

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

3. Basset Hound - They are really lazy pet dogs that are soft and tender 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 particularly fond of going outdoors. 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 constrained to a studio apartment, this pooch will not mind. Boston Terriers are relatively less active. One walk a day is all you need to ensure these dogs get a good workout.
