Trait guide
Best dog breeds for exercise requirements
Exercise requirements rate how much structured physical activity a breed needs each day, from 1 (minimal — short walks suffice) to 5 (demanding — multiple long sessions daily). A mismatch here is one of the most common causes of behaviour problems. Here are the breeds rated highest.
