    Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

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

    They need a big backyard to run all around in all day so that they can expend all that pent-up energy. Though, there are various other breeds that are on the opposed end of the spectrum. If you do not have enough time or energy to play with your pet for several hours a day, then there are specific breeds ideal for your way of living.

    Here are some 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 terrific snuggle buddies.

    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 soft, affectionate and would much prefer to be inside next to you than doing any sort of vigorous activity.

    3. Basset Hound - They are very lazy pet dogs that are delicate and caring towards their families. 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 keen on going outdoors. Many times, they will get plenty of exercise simply walking the apartment all day.

    5. Boston Terrier - Their weight usually maxes out at 25 pounds, so even if you are confined to a studio apartment, this pooch will not mind. Boston Terriers are quite non-active. One walk a day is all you need to make sure these dogs get a good workout.

Cao da Serra de Aires Information

The coat of the Portuguese Sheepdog is either long and smooth or with a slight wave. It does not have an undercoat. Colors include yellow-red chestnut, gray, fawn, wolf or black. A few white hairs are permissible but patches of white hairs are not, except for white patches on the chest. The forelimbs are symmetrically covered with long hair. It has a beard, which gives it a mature look. The eyes are round and dark, with a gentle expression. The moderately sized ears usually hang down the sides of the cheeks, but sometimes they are cropped. Cropping is banned in some European countries. For his moderate size, the dog appears rather high on the legs. His feet are particularly adaptable to rough terrain. His legs are strong and his chest is deep. The hair is longer on the head, giving the dog bangs and a banged-up untidy look. It has a wide, sturdy head with a prominent nose, and strong jaws and teeth. The tail is pointed, reaching the dog's hocks.

The breed standard states that the ideal Cão da Serra de Aires is "exceptionally intelligent and very lively.", devoted to the flock and the shepherd but wary of strangers and a good night guarding dog.
