Low Maintenance and Calm Dog Breeds

Not everyone is looking for a dog to take hiking and running every weekend. Some of us are looking for a dog to snuggle on the couch with for movie marathons! 

If you’re looking for a low maintenance or low energy dog breed, the first thing to know is that these terms are not the same.  A low maintenance dog has lesser maintenance requirements than some other dogs (such as less frequent grooming needs). A low energy dog is less active than some other dogs so requires less physical activity. A calm dog has a calm temperament and isn’t easily excitable. 

Dogs with less exercise needs who love being couch potatoes do still like to run and play and it’s important to get them outside to explore and socialize. And these dogs still can get the zoomies! But they likely aren’t up to long adventures outside or active households with a lot of daily exercise. They also likely aren’t going to be great dogs for protection.
