    Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

    When most people think of pet dogs, they think about jolly, jumping bundles of fur. There are many different breeds of dogs out there, and several of them do require a good amount of physical exercise.

    They need a large backyard to run around in all day so that they can use up all that pent-up energy. Although, there are other breeds that are on the reverse end of the spectrum. If you do not have the time or energy to play with your pooch for many hours a day, then there are particular breeds ideal for your lifestyle.

    Here are several dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

    1. Chow Chow - They 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 good snuggle friends.

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

    3. Basset Hound - They are very lazy pet dogs that are soft 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 particularly fond of going outdoors. Many times, they will get lots of exercise simply walking around the apartment all day.

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

Russian Toy Information

The Russian Toy (also known as the Russian Toy Terrier, and in Russia as the Russkiy Toy, Toychik,Russian: Русский той, Тойчик) is a very small breed of dog originally bred in Russia from the English Toy Terrier which is known today as the Manchester Terrier. There are two types of coats in the breed: smooth coat and long coat. The smooth-coated variety was previously known as the Russian Toy Terrier and long-coated as the Moscow Long Haired Toy Terrier. Both were brought together under the same Russian Toy Terrier name in 1988 and the "Terrier" was dropped from the name when the breed was added in 2006 to the official list of breeds registered with the Fédération Cynologique Internationale[1] and has been registered in the Foundation Stock Service of the American Kennel Club since 2008, allowed to compete in AKC companion events since 2010. The first official breed standard of the two varieties was written in 1966 in Russia.

Active and cheerful, the Russian Toy was originally bred both as an anti-rat dog and a watch dog. The second quality is still active in the breed, and they can be very vocal. They can become quite attached to their family, regardless of the ages of the family members. Russian Toys are usually very reserved with strangers, but very loyal to their owners, always ready to protect them from any perceived danger.
