Low energy dog breeds

This category incorporates pups from all other classes. Several of the very big dogs are low-energy, because they were bred to spend long periods of their lives waiting or watching. However, you’ll also find that breeds like the Chinese Crested, which was bred solely as a companion dog, are overjoyed to lie still for hours on end, as long as they can be with—or glued to—you. While it isn’t a consideration for all breeds of this type, many of them require intense bonds and constant interaction, even if that means sleeping on your feet during a Netflix marathon. They do not do well with being left alone all day, every day. If you need a pup that can handle that, investigate the larger, less energetic breeds.
