Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

When most people think of canines, they think of happy, jumping bundles of fur. There are many breeds of dogs out there, and different of them do need a great amount of physical activity.

They need a large backyard to run about in all day so that they can expend all that pent-up energy. However, 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 doggie for several hours a day, then there are certain breeds ideal for your life-style.

Here are some dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

1. Chow Chow - They tend to be rather 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 great cuddle friends.

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

3. Basset Hound - They are really lazy dogs that are soft and affectionate towards their loved ones. 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 especially keen on going outdoors. Many times, they will get lots of exercise simply walking around 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 fairly inactive. One walk a day is all you need to assure these dogs get a good workout.
