I'm looking to buy a dog that has very low-medium energy. If the dog has higher energy then my dog, then my dog (9-yr old chow/shih-tzu mix) isn't going to like it. I was thinking about getting a puppy, and was wondering if it really matter what breed I got or not because aren't puppies normally very energetic?

French Bulldogs

I am not sure, but I imagine English or French bulldogs (not American, they are energetic) and Basset Hounds.I had a golden retriever (female) that was very laid back. Females are less hyper than males.
