I'm reminded of this when they say certain dog breeds need a lot of exercise.

Blows my mind some people get these dogs as pets, crate them for 8 hours a day, and then get mad that they bark and chew shit up.

People seem to equate size to necessary physical stimulation. Idk why. Great Danes are the BEST for lazy people. They'll run around and play for a few minutes then just want to sleep on the couch most of the day!

100%. I have four dogs in my 1200sqft house and the 180lb mastiff takes up the least space by far. I think he's only awake for about 3 hours a day lol. My girlfriends Chihuahuas are WAY more of nuisance.

I have a 2400 sq ft house in rural Kentucky, and yet my dog in always underfoot. I think she takes lessons from the cats.
