Irish Wolfhound Exercise Needs

These giant dogs need lots of space to run, but do not need any more exercise than smaller breeds. They need a daily walk where the dog is made to heel beside or behind the human holding the lead. Never in front. Like many other giant breeds it is important to remember that too much forced, vigorous exercise is not good for a young dog's growth and development, so watch your puppy for any signs, but they still instinctually need a daily walk.

Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

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

They need a large backyard to run around in all day so that they can expend all that pent-up energy. Though, there are various other breeds that are on the opposite 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 certain breeds perfect for your way of living.

Here are a few 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 leave for work in the morning. They can get over 70 pounds in weight, but they make wonderful cuddle mates.

2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred predominantly as a lapdog and companion, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel excels at its original job. The breed is gentle, caring and would much prefer to be inside next to you than doing any sort of vigorous activity.

3. Basset Hound - They are very lazy dogs that are delicate and affectionate towards their loved ones. Although they require little bit of exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.

4. Shih Tzu - Shih Tzus tend to not be specifically fond of going outdoors. Many times, they will get lots of exercise simply walking the apartment all day.

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