We know how most dogs are, especially the young ones. They love playing with toys, scratching your sofa, digging up holes, and chasing any smaller animal they come across.
It gets worse when you might be in desperate need of a nap after such a long, hard day at work, only for your dog to jump up your bed and “insist” you give him attention. How annoying can that be?
Don’t lose hope just yet, not all dogs are up-and-about. There are a number of them who will spend all day laying around watching you do your thing without a care in the world.
These are lazy dog breeds, and you might want to consider them if you’re the type that wants “peace to reign”.
The case may even be that you don’t mind having an active dog living under your care, but the neighbors (or landlord) do.
Not to worry, we’ll be recommending some lovely lazy dog breeds for you to choose from!
Let’s first consider some instances that could prompt you to opt for a lazy dog breed.
Let’s assume you live in a rented apartment where active dog breeds are not allowed (for obvious reasons), and you would still like to own a dog. The best bet is to go for a breed that would live with you almost unnoticed.
Some of your co-tenants may not be able to stand all the barking and any other noise your active dog makes.
An active dog could also develop a habit of invading your neighbor’s space every chance he gets, forcing you to say “sorry about that” more times than you would care for.
Worse still, he could approach them aggressively and bite, which will leave you with anything between paying for treatment and a law suit.
Assume you wouldn’t want that, so once again, a lazy dog breed still remains your best option if you insist on keeping one in your apartment.
We have to mention though, the dog being lazy is no excuse not to take him on occasional walks or runs. Doing this would keep him healthy and fit, it will also give you the chance to have some fun-time with your best friend, away from the complaints of your grouchy neighbors!
So, let’s get into it. Below are recommendations for the laziest dog breeds you can own and care for!
