If your Friday nights are more about Netflix than a night on the town, you’re going to love these best dog breeds for homebodies.

Most dogs love to run around, play and spend a lot of time being active.

While there is nothing wrong with an active dog, not all of us have the time, energy, or, in some cases, the physical capability, to visit the dog park every single day.

If you’re a more relaxed type of pet owner, you may be looking for a dog that is suitable for your low-key lifestyle.

While there isn’t a single dog that doesn’t need daily exercise, there are some breeds that are a bit more on the easy scale.

Here are 10 of the best dog breeds for homebodies.

These furballs make for great companions, especially if you’re looking for a dog that loves to sit in your lap. Maltese dogs do not shed which means you don’t have to worry about furry clothes and furniture.

Samoyeds are extremely friendly dogs that generally just love people. While they do require a little exercise, Samoyeds are perfectly happy relaxing at home.

Yorkies are cute dogs that make awesome pets for a low-key lifestyle. Not only are they small, but Yorkies are extremely affectionate and lovable. Besides, who wouldn’t want a dog that looks adorable in bows?

4. American Bulldogs

 

These pups are big babies full of wrinkles and cuteness. American Bulldogs are not too keen on exercise because they overheat quickly. This means you can count on this breed to be your go-to shotgun couch potato.

5. Basenji

If you’re looking for an independent dog, the Basenji is the perfect breed for you. Basenjis don’t bark but they do yodel! With some exercise, the Basenji makes for a great pup.

6. King Charles Cavalier

These pups are simply sweet and cuddly! King Charles Cavaliers are the perfect dog to cuddle up with while watching a movie. The eyes are bound to get you!

7. Beagle

How Long Do Puppies Grow?

Beagles can be hard to train because of their strong sense of smell, but they make for awesome home dogs. They are social and obedient when trained properly. Beagles love affection and love to give it right back!

8. Greyhound

This boy isn't the only one who struggled getting up this morning 😳

Though Greyhounds are bred to run and to be fast, you may find the perfect dog in this breed!

A retired Greyhound is bound to be a sensitive soul who just wants to hang out at home with you. Greyhounds, especially older and retired ones, just want to be loved.

9. Bassett Hound

My infection came back, but I'm on the mend again. Feeling much better today, and Mom is staying home with me because it's a snow day! #bassetthound #bassetlove #dogstagram #snowday

Who could resist the big ears and doe-eyes?! Bassett Hounds are extremely low-key and even a bit lazy at times. These pups are complete couch surfers so you can binge watch without judgment!

10. Chihuahua

Though Chihuahuas are often known for their excessive barking and over-sassy personalities, they are ideal for homebodies. These cuties need very little exercise and are bound to keep you on your toes.
