Lazy dog breeds do not need a lot of working out; all they need are just little sessions of fooling about.
Here is a list of some of the laziest dog breeds.
1. Chihuahua
The Chihuahua is the smallest of all dog breeds and can be great pets, too. They are master dogs and are awfully devoted to him or her. This breed is great for lazy owners because it needs minimum space. In fact, it is so tiny; it can even snuggle in your hand bag. The Chihuahua also requires minimal exercise and sprucing up. Do not go for this breed if you have small children in the house. They are ferociously loyal to one individual and can be easily resentful and upset. Do not ever let them get too fat as it will give way to grave health issues. So, always take them for that random walk in the garden.
2. Rat terrier
This lazy breed of dog is also identified as the American hairless terrier. A Rat terrier requires very little space, almost the size of a shoe box. This dog is around 25 pounds and maybe a foot tall. They are an extremely sociable breed and usually jolly. They are also very perceptive of any variation in the atmosphere or even disposition of the master. This dog is incredibly intelligent, so training will not be too much of a task.
3. Pug
Having its roots in China, this breed is tiny but has the disposition of a big breed. They are clever and can be trained very effortlessly. Pugs are actually dream pets for apartment houses because they require very little space. They are very caring dogs and will get along like fire with your kids. There is one major shortcoming which is they shed a lot and their furrows have to be cleansed to avoid infections. Pugs cannot be exercised too much because they have very compressed breathing ducts, so if there is extra exercise, they have problems in controlling their body temp.
4. Bull mastiff
The Bull mastiff is a wonderful big doggie not only because of its size but also because of its modest upkeep. This breed is in fact a cross between the English Mastiff and the Old English Bulldog. They are quite low in terms of the vigor factor. They are fairly peaceful, unfussy dogs, so pretty good for apartments. There is some amount of training required so that there is no tugging while walking. It has a short, silky fur that barely sheds. It is quite a lazy dog, but because of its huge size, obesity can become a serious issue. So, frequent strolls are a must.
5. Bolognese
The Bolognese is a strapping breed of toy or buddy dog which does not have any specific inherent health troubles. It is an excellent apartment dog since it weighs just 8 to 13 pounds. It is not an exceedingly energetic dog, but is playful. You can take it for sporadic strolls. The Bolognese is a clever breed and can be trained very fast. Reasonable amount of grooming is required because of its long white hair. However, it does not shed much and is thought to be hypoallergenic.
6. Japanese Chin
The Japanese Chin also called the Japanese Spaniel are smart little pooches who once warmed the laps of the upper class gentry. They are very tiny dogs requiring minimal training because they are calm and docile. They get along nicely with almost everyone counting outsiders as well and they adore performing tricks for appreciative spectators. The Chin has a good looking coat which does not require quite a lot of maintenance. You just have to brush it a couple of times a week, and it is all shiny and silky. Not much exercise needed because of its short muzzle, there might be breathing problems if there is too much of strain.
7. Greyhound
Believe it or not, Greyhounds may look like graceful pooches but are in fact quite lazy in temperament. They had much rather take a snooze than run after rubber balls. These dogs are peaceful and tender and do wonders with kids and other pets. They have minimalistic grooming requirements, only a nice stroll can make them happy. These poor dogs are often dumped in shelters and rescues after their racing career is finished. So, you can give them a new life when you take them.
