World’s Most Low Energy Dogs

Dog Energy Level and How it Affects You

First off, why should a dog’s energy level matter to you anyways? Because you’ll be the one taking care of it and if you’re a good dog owner you’ll also be the one getting off your tail to play with it. So, the calmest dog breeds make great pets for people who only have time for an occasional walk, and low energy small dogs are perfect for those with smaller sized apartments. On the other hand, high energy dog breeds would be ideal for large families or people who like to go on runs and wish to take a companion with them.

Small Size Doesn’t Mean Low Energy

You might be surprised to find that low energy dog breeds aren’t necessarily all small dogs. For instance, despite their large size and being known for their racing skills, Greyhounds are among the world’s most lazy dog breeds. Low energy small dogs exist too but don’t fall prey to the assumption that all small dogs are lazy or calm dogs.
