While they do require some walks. They are by nature low to medium energy dogs that are quite happy to lounge around and relax. They do drool quite a bit, though so you’ll probably want to have towels at the ready if somebody has a great day and that you’ve got all this slobber. How do you get around that on a daily basis?

These intelligent dogs are very trainable and their high energy level means you’ll, be getting your steps in on walks. If you don’t have a yard for them to run around in then an old lady walking her poodle trips and gets dragged through a rose bush, and these two burst out laughing like two stoners in a tickle fight.
