Some dogs are only as lazy as you let them be... my dads Doxy mix, Buddy, would probably be content to sleep most of the day, but we give him walks every day, outdoor playtime in the yard, and he's very happy to do those things too. You just have to be the one to initiate it.
Jackson is super active but he likes his sleep too. He usually sleeps from 10pm-morning (9am-ish) and then he goes back to sleep until noon or 1 o'clock. But then he's ready to go. I always be sure that if he doesn't get his daily walk, he gets activity or he would drive me nuts. We have to dog park once or twice a week, walks atleast 5 days a week, tricks/obedience/training at least once per day, and he needs a chance to just RUN a few times a week, etc. But like I said he will practically sleep from 10pm-noon the next day (with a morning potty break of course). |
