    Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

    When most people think of dogs, they think about happy, bouncing bundles of fur. There are numerous breeds of dogs out there, and countless of them do require a good amount of physical activity.

    They need a large 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 the time or energy to play with your dog for many hours a day, then there are certain breeds perfect for your life-style.

    Here are some dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

    1. Chow Chow - They tend 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 partners.

    2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred predominantly as a lapdog and partner, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel excels at its original job. The breed is soft, affectionate 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 gentle and caring towards their families. Although they require little exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.

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

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

Sarplaninac Information

The Šarplaninac is a large, strongly built dog. The body is slightly longer than the height at the withers, and the front legs account for approximately 55% of the height. The head is large but proportional to the body, with dark eyes. All Šarplaninac are solid in colour: fawn, iron grey, white or almost black; usually sable or gray with darker "overalls" on the head and back, the undercoat being paler. The colour need not be completely uniform, and most Šarplaninac have several different shades of the same colour fading into one another. There are no bicolours and no uniformly black-coated dogs among purebreds, but odd-coloured specimens do exist. The dogs must not have large white patches in their coat.

The temperament of the breed is described as independent, reliable, protective but not snappy, incorruptible and devoted to its master. The breed is aloof with outsiders, and calm until a threat to the flock presents itself. The breed has an extremely protective nature. In the absence of a flock of sheep, the Šarplaninac will often treat its humans as sheep - herding them away from danger or undesirable areas. They are serene and majestic, gentle with children and smaller dogs. They are also highly intelligent and bred to work without human supervision while guarding the flocks in the high pastures. Young pups can kill small animals until trained not to hunt. Like many of its cousin Mountain dogs, the Šarplaninac is a very serious and dedicated guard dog. Due to this, they are naturally suspicious of strangers and will need good socializing at a young age to lessen this innate personality trait. They are calm and gentle with their family but when faced with danger they become a formidable foe, not a suitable breed for all. Consistent and firm training is essential to ensure compliance.
