If you’re looking for a dog that will keep you active, a Scottish Terrier could be your new workout buddy. It’s a fan of long walks, not so much fast running though.
This breed adjusts well to apartment and house living, and don’t let their size fool you — they make for good guard dogs.
Cocker Spaniel
Another Spaniel on our list is the Cocker Spaniel! Although it's popular as a children-friendly dog, it actually has the perfect temperament for adults.
It does require a bit more grooming than other breeds we mentioned, but Spaniels are so lovable that their owners just take it as more quality time.
Welsh Terrier
The Welsh Terrier was bred for hunting, so you can imagine why it has a lot of energy and independent nature.
This breed could be a great option for active and able seniors because of its playfulness, spirit, and cleverness. It will keep you up and about and entertained. Your grandkids will fall in love with this breed instantly.
Basset Hound
Basset Hounds are easygoing and affectionate, and once it falls in love with you it'll be shadowing you closely. Don't let their 'down' face fool you, these pups are fun and playful.
Be sure to get your Hound enough exercise because Bassets tend to put on weight which isn't healthy for any dog.
Chow Chow
Chow Chows are a popular choice of dog breed, we mean, who could possibly resist getting their hands on one of these puffy fluffballs? But when it comes to choosing a new companion, potential owners might want to look past all that pillowy fur.
The difficulty with Chow Chows is that these teddy bear-like dogs don't always understand how big they can become. At other times, Chow Chows can become a little too overprotective or overly attached to their owners and can have trouble with newcomers and other dogs.
