Honestly speaking, playing with dogs is interesting, but it could make you exhausted if you adopt a more active one. When you come home after a busy day, would you like a dog that is willing to snuggle up and rest beside you or an energetic one that cries for the outdoor activities. Think about the precious time you sacrifice to make sure your dog spends enough energy, the time that could have been spent doing much nicer things, does it make you hesitate about dog ownership, even for a second? If yes, lazy dog breeds are here to help you out because they love sleeping and hate exercise as much as you do.
4. Saint Bernard
You only need to glance at a Saint Bernard to see through their lazy nature. It’s forgivable for a giant breed that doesn’t like too many activities. Can you understand how reluctant a fat person would like to run, let alone in warmer climates with the very thick coats, even in the cold weather, it’s not a pleasurable thing.
5. Pug
« Snoring » may be a good « feedback » to the « Hypnos » (sleep God), at least, it shows you are sleeping. In such a way, the Pug often tells us that he enjoys his time. He seems to feel no shame to announce his laziness at all. And their « honesty » even makes them a cuter breed than other ones. They become sentimental, if they are left alone. Don’t let them always cry when they wake up and find you’re not there!
7. Pomeranian
The Pomeranian has a pretty face and small body shape. They love napping and manage to captivate you with their smiles while they are at it.
8. Labrador Retriever
The Labrador Retriever is well known for his mild temperament, pleasant, and outgoing nature. When faced unpleasant things in life, they choose to sleep it off and take the chill route.
11. Cockapoo
Cockapoo will only keep active an average of 64.72 minutes a day, just about one hour. If you think they sleep too much, you can wake them and play a game of fetch. But don’t retard their sleeping schedule too much, or you’ll need to take care of their ill tempers.
12. Chihuahua
Body shape is not the key factor in a dog’s lazy nature, which will be best explained by the Chihuahua – the smallest breed of dog. They are much more comfortable being inside and sleep for a whole afternoon, so they’re no surprise on the list for couch potato races.
13. Japanese Chin
Want to find a dog that is as lazy as a cat, as cute as a cat? The Japanese Chin perfectly meets your needs. When putting them in a comfortable bed, they will fall asleep without much complaint or most of the time; they just sleep next to their owners for the remainder of the day and night.
14. Bullmastiff
This « muscular man » won’t let you down! He has mastered the art napping. Even though they look like a working dog with « suitable size » and strength, they are too lazy to spend time digging out their potential for work.
15. English Mastiff
If Bullmastiff ranks in at No.2 lazy dog, the English Mastiff should be No.1. They’re lazier and require minimal exercise. Facing many people’s doubt that their body shape doesn’t match up with their abilities, they are with a show of calmness. After all, no dog can decide to become a dog before he was born. They tried!
