Dogs With Low Exercise Demands!

Hello, Happy Monday and welcome back to DoggiBling!  Hopefully you had a great weekend, full of rest, relaxation and plenty of 1 on 1 time with your furry friends!  Speaking of our 4-legged counterparts, raise your hand if you don’t always give your pooch the right amount of exercise???

I have to admit, my hand was one of the first to shoot up.  We’re human, we make mistakes!  It doesn’t matter what happens, when it happens, or why, we all get sidetracked, busy and too involved to give our pets the proper exercise they deserve 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.  When you have a pet that demands large amounts of exercise and you just can’t give it to them on a regular basis, health problems, psychological problems and behavioral problems are often the result.  If you are NEW to the dog world, or not yet a dog owner, and you know you’re goign to have a tough time providing exercise, one of the most responsible and intelligent things you can do is invest in a dog that has a relatively low exercise need.

So what breeds are best?  The good news is, you have a wide variety of choices.  According to an article I just read, here are the BEST breeds for you, if providing a lot of exercise is just not in the cards:

Affenpinscher
American Bullnese
American Lo-Sze Pugg
Bichon Frise
Bolognese
Boston Terrier
Brussels Griffon
Bulldog
Chacy Ranior
Chihuahua
Chinese Crested (hairless)
Cockapoo
Coton De Tulear
Dachshund
English Toy Spaniel
French Bulldog
Havanese
Griffon Bruxellois
Italian Greyhound
Japanese Spaniel (Chin)
Kyi-Leo®
Maltese
Mi-Ki
Miniature English Bulldog
Miniature Fox Terrier
Miniature Pinscher
Papillon
Pekingese
Pomeranian
Prazsky Krysavik
Pug
Seidenspitz
Shichon
Shih-Tzu
Silky Terrier
Toy Fox Terrier
Toy Manchester Terrier
Toy Poodle
Yorkshire Terrier

Choose any one of those breeds and you’ll have a low-energy pup that only needs moderate exercise and a daily walk around the block.  Biting off more than you can chew when it comes to doggy energy is one of the easiest mistakes we can make!
