Spinone Italiano Exercise Needs

Their activity level is low to medium indoors and medium to high outdoors. A good breed to jog with, the Spinone Italiano is not a "racy" type dog, moving more slowly and methodically than many other gun dog breeds. As such, he can do well with a small yard combined with daily walks and play.

Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

When most people think of pet dogs, they think about cheerful, hopping bundles of fur. There are countless breeds of dogs out there, and different of them do require a great amount of physical exercise.

They need a big backyard to run about in all day so that they can exhaust all that pent-up energy. However, there are various other breeds that are on the opposite end of the spectrum. If you do not have enough time or energy to play with your pooch for several hours a day, then there are specific breeds perfect for your way of living.

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 terrific cuddle buddies.

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

3. Basset Hound - They are very lazy pet dogs that are gentle 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 usually tend to not be particularly keen on going outdoors. Many times, they will get plenty of exercise simply walking around the apartment all day.

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