    Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

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

    They need a big backyard to run about in all day so that they can exhaust all that pent-up energy. Although, there are various other breeds that are on the reverse end of the spectrum. If you do not have enough time or energy to play with your pooch for many hours a day, then there are specific breeds ideal for your way of life.

    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 excellent cuddle mates.

    2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred predominantly 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 very lazy canines that are soft and caring towards their families. Although they require little bit of exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.

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

    5. Boston Terrier - Their weight typically maxes out at 25 pounds, so even if you are constrained 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.

The muscular body is massive with a well supported back. The chest is wide and tall, reaching the level of the elbows with well arched ribs. When the dog is relaxed it tends to hold the tail low, reaching the point of the hock or even lower. When the dog is alert and is paying attention or is in action, the tail is elevated.
