Scottish Terrier Exercise Needs

These are active little dogs that need a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs that do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe, open area off lead, such as a large, fenced-in yard.

Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

When most people think about dogs, they think of cheerful, jumping bundles of fur. There are a wide range of breeds of dogs out there, and many of them do require a great amount of exercise.

They need a big backyard to run all 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 enough time or energy to play with your doggie for many hours a day, then there are certain breeds best for your way of life.

Here are some 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 cuddle buddies.

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

3. Basset Hound - They are very lazy canines that are soft and caring 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 particularly keen on going outside. Many times, they will get plenty of exercise simply walking the apartment all day.

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