What's a mid-size breed of dog with a reputation for laziness? I need a slow-moving dog to contrast with a hyperactive husky, and I already used "basset hound" in a different context. Ideally, it should have about the same mass as a husky.

How about an old Lab? My Black Lab, Sadie, is 12 years old, and she's pretty damn slow these days.
Blood hound, they're always lounging next to a rocking chair. Perhaps a little big, but not too far from a husky.

Huge & lazy dog, until it's time to kick a jaguars ass.
Well, the bloodhound is the stereotypical "lazy dog," isn't it? Unless they catch a scent, anyway. Maybe a bit large for what you have in mind.

Well, you could make this completely self-referential and invent a breed of lapdog called, say, the Jonah Goldberg Spaniel.
"Bloodhound" is perfect. Thanks.

Heh.
The problem is, I want the book to be comprehensible to people who aren't heavy blog readers...
