The Pug is another miniature puppy you'll be happy to have in your home. Known as a low-maintenance dog breed, the Pug does tend to shed, but they need minimal grooming and only half hour of walking a day to stay in shape. You will catch them more often lounging in the living room rather than running out the door for their walk. Due to their small stature, the Dachshunds are often considered one of the most low-maintenance dog breeds you can wish for. There is not much shedding to worry about, weekly grooming sessions are plenty and you can get away with moderate exercise as their tiny frame isn't made to sustain much running and jumping. The Greyhound is that athletic dog that can't wait for a good cuddle in your lap. Their mellow nature combined with minimum grooming necessities make them one of the most low-maintenance dogs in the large breeds group. You will catch them more often lounging in the living room rather than running out the door for their walk.

Smaller breeds, such as chihuahuas, terriers, or dachshunds typically require the least amount of daily exercise. They are, however, most suited for 30 minutes of walking each day. This could be two short steady 15 minute strolls down the lane. Chihuahuas may only need 30 minutes of exercise every day. Dachshunds may only need two 15-minute leisurely walks. While these small dog breeds could be happy with 30-minute walks, Dr Ronngren has witnessed terriers hike 10 miles with their owners. There's always a degree of variation of what each dog needs, regardless of their breed. Taking breed into account when determining what type of dog would suit the amount of activity you can provide is important, but we also have to remember it’s very dog dependent too.
