Large dog breeds don’t need extra exercise
Of course, this aspect differs from breed to breed, but in general, many large dog breeds don’t need extra exercise to be healthy and happy, especially because they were used as guard dogs, so most of the time, this work requires a sitting posture.Â
However, one thing is absolutely certain, namely that all dog breeds – regardless of size – need a daily walk to meet their needs. It’s true that some of them don’t need extra exercise, but a regular walk is necessary for all of them.Â
“Size doesn’t correlate to energy level. I own and breed Rhodesian Ridgebacks, for example, and as long as they get a nice long walk and some mental stimulation during the day, most adults are happy to lounge around in the house or apartment,” says Flaim. “Other breeds, like many herding or retrieving dogs, are smaller, but require way more exercise to burn off their energy.”

I had a collie, I called him Laddie, and really should have called him Einstien because he was so
smart. He understood three languages. When I asked him to pick up the toys, that my daughter
had thrown out of her playpen and put them back in the playpen, he did. My daughter would throw them out and he would put them back. He was so protective of her, getting between her and the stairs or the stove.
Collies are known for their gentleness and intelligence.
