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. Also, 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 seniors.
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 one of them falls in love with you, it'll be shadowing you closely. Don't let their 'down' faces fool you, these pups are fun and playful.
You’ll just have to sure you get your Hound enough exercise because it tends to put on weight which isn't healthy for any dog.
Saluki
Salukis are known to be content to lounge for hours; still, they need daily exercise. They are devoted but tend not to be demonstrative. They can be gentle with children and relish sitting by your side.
These dogs are not well-suited for a small space and don't fare well when left home alone all day; they need space to roam, preferably in a yard with a high fence as they tend to get quite big and can scale a fence.
