Lazy owner, relaxed dog

Due to their anatomy or their personality, many of these animals cannot spend a lot of time outside – or simply do not like it. Therefore, if you are looking for a couch companion for long hours sleeping or watching movies, these are the ideal breeds:

English bulldog

They are known for being generally the most adopted breed by "first-time pet parents". Due to their anatomy, bulldogs (who have short legs, a lot of body fat and a snout that makes it difficult for them to breathe) are sedentary by nature. For this reason, they don't spend a lot of time doing physical activities and soon go to sleep. Thus, they are the perfect breed for more relaxed people.

However, be aware of possible health problems that this animal may have and periodically check his health at veterinary clinics.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Known, in fiction and in real life, for being clumsy and very affectionate, Cavaliers only do short walks, but his favorite activity is definitely to be in his owner's lap while he takes a nap. They are medium-sized and very affectionate and attentive so, in practice, it is uncomplicated to train them to obey basic commands, making the whole dog-human relationship much easier.

Dachshund or teckel (sausage dog)

Sausages are well known for being fun, friendly and… calm. Although they don't do without a joke and a cuddle, most of their time is spent on the couch or in a comfortable bed. In other words, it is your ideal companion for all those hours of relaxation.
