It’s funny to same looking see a couple of a pet and his owner passing by. However this time we will analyze which dog breeds are most suitable for lazy peop

Do Remember

Energetic dogs, such as Australian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever tend to become more calm and docile as they age, and hence, don’t require a strenuous exercise routine, thereby, making them ideal choices for lazy owners.
Like people, even dogs have a temperament. An energetic person is better off with a Border Collie or Miniature Pinscher, but some of us are quite laid-back in nature, and would prefer a dog with a mellow disposition.
A lot of thought should be put in before buying a dog. However, most dog owners choose the animal based on its looks and color, spend a ton of time and money to pick out the perfect canine, and later, regret their decision. These people have a hectic lifestyle, and can’t go every day for a 30-minute walk or the weekly hiking trip with their pet. To ensure that they don’t buy the wrong breed, Buzzle enlists the most popular couch potato dog breeds that are satisfied with a 10-minute walk around the park.

All it needs is a 10 to 15-minute walk in the mornings or evenings. A Bulldog loves to sit idle, and even watches just about anything on TV. It is great with kids, and usually, not aggressive towards strangers. However, it rarely mixes well with other dog breeds.

This breed is great with kids and other household pets.

They don’t need much exercise, and are happy with running around indoors. Sometimes, the dog can be a little stubborn, but it lives to please its master. Pugs are also great with kids, and mix well with other domesticated pets.

It is the ideal lap dog that thrives on human companionship and loves its long resting hours.

These short outbursts and a daily walk for 10 to 15 minutes are all this dog needs to stay healthy.
