Lacy Activity Requirements

The Lacy dog is a small, happy-go-lucky lapdog. They are loving and affectionate, but can also be stubborn and mischievous. They are good with older children who know how to respectfully handle small dogs. While they are not the most high-energy of breeds, they also do best with at least an hour of physical exercise per day. This doesn’t have to be a long hike or intense workout, but should be a brisk walk around the neighborhood. If you are looking for a small dog, the Lacy may be a good option. They are not as high strung as some other small breeds, but they do enjoy an active lifestyle. A daily walk or backyard play time will keep your Lacy happy and healthy.
