Shetland Sheepdog Exercise Needs

This active, graceful dog needs lots of exercise, which includes a daily walk or jog. They will also enjoy running free, but be sure the dog is in a safe area.

Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

When most people think about dogs, they think about playful, bouncing bundles of fur. There are several breeds of dogs out there, and countless of them do need a great amount of physical activity.

They need a big backyard to run all around in all day so that they can use up all that pent-up energy. Nevertheless, 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 pet for many hours a day, then there are specific breeds ideal for your way of living.

Here are several dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

1. Chow Chow - They usually tend to be fairly 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 fantastic snuggle buddies.

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 prefer to be inside next to you than doing any sort of vigorous activity.

3. Basset Hound - They are very lazy dogs that are soft and tender towards their loved ones. Although they require small 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 generally maxes out at 25 pounds, so even if you are constrained to a studio apartment, this pooch will not mind. Boston Terriers are rather inactive. One walk a day is all you need to assure these dogs get a good workout.
