Greyhound

While the Greyhound is by far the biggest dog on our list,  they are the laziest. You’ll be surprised to know that even smaller breeds have bigger energy than this breed. For seniors, we highly recommend getting a retired racing Greyhounds since they’ve finished their active racing career and have fully embraced the couch potato lifestyle. Another good thing about adopting a Greyhound from a track is getting a furry friend who’s seen a lot, well-socialized, and will get along with you just fine.

Bichon Frise

A happy and affectionate dog who will make a great companion is the small and fluffy Bichon Frise. A Bichon Frise weighs between 7 and 12 lbs on average, making it extremely easy for most people to handle. They’re relatively easy to train as well. Now and again, they will need to be groomed, but otherwise, they are low-maintenance. As long as they have your companionship, a reasonable amount of daily workouts is usually enough just to keep them happy and healthy.
