Bushland Terrier Activity Requirements
The Bushland Terrier is a friendly, intelligent, and loyal dog. While they are not known for being particularly high-energy, they do need regular exercise. A daily walk or short play session is a sufficient amount of activity for most Bushland Terriers. They are not a high-energy dog, so they don’t require hours of vigorous playing. This breed is a great choice for people with limited space. Their small size means that they don’t need a huge yard to get all their exercise. A walk around the neighborhood or a trip to the dog park is a great supplement to their daily walks.
