NOTE
- The above chart is for the average of each dog. Every dog is different and may or may not need some adjusting.
- In regards to aggression, every dog is also different. A dogs aggression level is largely dependent on the
experience of the owner, the temperament of the owner, and it's amount of exercise.
- In regards to exercise, the levels pertain to daily exercise.
- Also note: "Above Average" rings true for almost all large dog breeds and should not be alarming. Most dogs are
not given adequate daily exercise, which can result in health issues as well as agression issues. Most humans could
use a little extra exercise as well.

One of my pugs needs exercise because he is hyperactive, and the other because she's VERY fat. Poor Chloe.
