    Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

    When most people think about canines, they think about jolly, hopping bundles of fur. There are countless breeds of dogs out there, and various of them do require a great amount of physical activity.

    They need a big backyard to run around in all day so that they can expend 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 dog for many hours a day, then there are certain breeds perfect for your lifestyle.

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

    1. Chow Chow - They usually tend to be rather 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 wonderful snuggle mates.

    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 delicate, loving and would much rather be inside next to you than doing any sort of vigorous activity.

    3. Basset Hound - They are really lazy canines that are delicate and loving 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 outdoors. Many times, they will get plenty of exercise simply walking the apartment all day.

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

Grand Bleu de Gascogne Information

The coat and expression combine to form an incomparable group. Its color, build and head combine to form an impression that is very noble and very French. The first and immediate impression of a Grand Bleu de Gascogne should be that of a hound with substance and staying power. Considering the breed's long hunting history, individual hounds should have moderate bone and ample muscle. Males are heavier than females. Defects such as bull necks, out at the elbow, loaded shoulders, or a "beef steer" profile, should not be confused with masculinity. Likewise, defects such as a shallow muzzle, poorly formed chest, extremely narrow pelvic region and general frailty should not be confused with femininity.

A trail hound of moderate speed, which at creation was used to hunt wolves but since the demise of the wolf, has since successfully adapted to hunting wild boar, deer, fox and hare. The Grand Bleu de Gascogne hunts in a leisurely, methodical manner and possesses, in the extreme, a great amount of determination, tremendous endurance, desire, self confidence, sagacity, remarkable scenting ability, a deep, powerful melodious voice, a distinct coat color and an aristocratic form. Of even temperament, essentially friendly. Some individuals may be very outgoing, while others are somewhat reserved in nature, but never shy or vicious. As a hunting/working Scenthound breed, and being called upon to work in close proximity with other hounds and their handlers, aggression towards other hounds and people is to be considered a fault. Extreme shyness or viciousness is a disqualification.
