1 Additional Answer
Heavy dogs with small short legs, such as the Basset Hound and Bulldog, are the slowest dog breeds. Other heavily built breeds that are likely to be slow in movement include St Bernard, the Clumber Spaniel, Old English Mastiff and Sussex Spaniel. Certain Toy breeds, such as the Pekinese move slowly because their legs are short.
