Dogs are all agile, need exercise and always want action? No, these seven dog breeds like to be more dignified.
1 / 7Bernese Mountain Dogs are considered to be relaxed and people-friendly, informs "Fressnapf". The breed loves to be outside, so don't do the Bernese Mountain Dog any favors as a pure apartment dog. Physical exertion should be avoided, especially at high temperatures. Die-Hunde.com informs that jogging is not for the breeds. However, long walks are welcome. © Bigandt/Imago
2 / 7West Highland White Terriers are very adaptable – so they can be happy even in a smaller apartment, writes "Edogs". However, the breed likes regular trips to nature. According to "Whistle", West Highland White Terriers exercise around 51 minutes a day. The breed, as the portal "Heart for Animals" knows, is considered docile, vigilant and fearless. © Imagebroker/Imago
3 / 7The Pekingese is a bit stubborn and likes to share his opinion loudly. The dog likes to be petted, but at some point that is enough for him. Therefore, you should pay attention to it, especially with children. The dog needs very little exercise, informs the portal Pfotenkenner. Therefore, the dog is particularly suitable for comfortable or elderly people, according to the portal. © Anka Agency International/Imago
4 / 7Pugs like to be lazy, according to the Americal Kennel Club. On the other hand, the dogs like to eat and then also put on weight. The dog breed needs about an hour of exercise a day, Purina writes on its own website. However, if you have a pug, you should make sure that it is not too exposed to the heat during walks. Otherwise, the animal may have severe breathing problems, Purina continues. © Marga/Imago
5 / 7In third place in the ranking of the laziest dogs came the Newfoundland. As the measurements of "Whistle" showed, this is active for about 44.64 minutes a day. Newfoundlands are real family dogs, they like children, are patient and protect their humans, informs the portal Heart for Animals. The breed likes it a little more comfortable. Newfoundlands are not ideal apartment dogs due to their size, they rather need a lot of space. A house with a garden would be ideal. The walks should also be leisurely, but you should not run or jog with the dog. © Enduro/Imago
6 / 7The English Bulldog has come in second place among lazy dogs with 44.31 minutes of activity per day. At least according to the American investigation of the company "Whistle". The dog breed is affectionate and loyal, a good companion with a protective instinct, informs the feeder. The English Bulldog likes to join in cozy evenings on the couch. They are ideal indoor dogs, the portal continues, as they are frugal and require less exercise than other dog breeds. However, regular, moderate exercise should still be part of the day. You should avoid long walks and intensive training due to the body structure of the animal. © Enduro/Imago
7/7The Chow Chow was ranked No. 1 on the list of laziest dogs in the United States. The dog's activity was measured with the help of a collar that records the GPS data. The portal Edogs informs that the Chow Chow moved the least with 43.36 minutes a day. A real slacker, in other words. However, that doesn't mean that the Chow Chow disdains walks with its owners. According to the Chowchow portal, the breed is very vigilant and attentive. © fotosobo/Imago
Whether your dog is lazy or not – as the owner, you are certainly in the best position to assess this. You know right away when your four-legged friend might be having a bad day or whether he is as agile as ever. Certain dogs are particularly lazy. The magazine Edogs divides lazy dog breeds into the following categories:
- Require less employment
- Require less exercise
- Sleep more than average
This definitely does not include dogs such as the Australian Shepherd or Border Collie.
