Mastiff breeds
Among low-energy dogs, mastiffs are definitely in the working group. First of all, they tend to be rather large, reaching up to 230 lbs.
Also, mastiff-type dogs are amazing when it comes to guarding your home because they are extremely alert and naturally prone to protecting the house. Moreover, they are trained to do so, which makes them effective property defenders.
Even if they’re known to be fierce protectors of home and family, they can also be couch potatoes. In some situations, these dogs would rather relax at home than take a walk around the block.
Some of them are extremely playful and affectionate. However, not all mastiffs are low-energy, so if you’re specifically looking for low-energy dogs, you might want to look into these breeds:
- Mastiff;
- Neapolitan Mastiff;
- Tibetan Mastiff;
- Boerboel;
- Dogue de Bordeaux.
