People who do not like to leave their homes often and for long periods of time are advised to get a cat or another pet, but not a dog.

The reason is simple – the dog needs to be walked. But not all dogs are fans of an active lifestyle.

Experts have named dogs that don't ask to go outside as often as their fellow dogs.

Basset Hound

The appearance of this dog is conducive to quiet gatherings with a cup of tea by the fireplace or on the veranda of the house.

The dog is not inclined to a physically active lifestyle, likes to lie down and does not create fuss.

You should walk your dog for no more than 30 minutes and only 1-2 times a day.

Shar Pei

For this dog, home comfort and coziness are more important than active walks. The dog feels healthy and happy without it.

Two or three 30-minute walks a day are enough, but no long hikes, especially in frost or heat.

French Bulldog

This is the most popular dog among homebodies. They absolutely do not need intensive exercise.

The calm and domestic Frenchie loves to while away the evenings next to his owner, making do with short outings.

You can limit yourself to 20-30 minutes of walking per day, but depending on the mood and weather, the dog can sit at home all day.

For reference

Dog breeds are a group of dogs that are similar in appearance to each other and have characteristic features that have been obtained under human influence, through selection, and are maintained by humans.
