About low-maintenance dogs in Dundee
No dog is no maintenance. Every dog needs daily walks, company, training and regular vet care. What varies is the extra work on top: grooming, shedding, how much exercise and stimulation a dog needs, and the running cost that comes with its size. This page gathers the dogs listed with rescues in and around Dundee that do well on those, either because their rescue describes them as low energy or because of their breed.
A short coat usually saves more work than a small body. The Royal Kennel Club suggests grooming a Greyhound or an Italian Greyhound about once a week, and a Maltese every day. Coats sold as non-shedding are often more work, not less: the coat keeps growing and tangles instead of dropping, so you swap hoovering for regular grooming. Bigger is not always harder either. The Greyhound Trust says greyhounds are built for speed, not stamina, and are happy with two twenty-minute walks a day.
Be careful with flat-faced breeds such as French Bulldogs. They can look easy because they manage less exercise, but PDSA lists being unable or unwilling to exercise among the signs of BOAS, a breathing condition common in flat-faced dogs, and The Royal Kennel Club says flat-faced dogs are at high risk of overheating in warm weather, even in the UK. Age matters as much as breed: a settled adult whose rescue knows its habits is usually less work than a puppy of any breed. A breed is only a starting point, so ask the rescue about the individual dog.
