Top breeds for apartment living

There’s a lot of pros to apartment living but space or having a yard may not be one of them. So when it comes to adopting a doggie, think small!

Boston Terrier

  • Personality: doesn’t bark much, but is pretty clever which can get him in trouble sometimes.
  • Energy: moderate

Chinese Crested

  • Weight: 5-12lbs
  • Personality: Very laid back, this breed is perfect for the lazy pet parent.

Bichon Frise (think mini poodle)

  • Weight: 7-12lbs
  • Personality: Very energetic, so walks are necessary. This breed will only bark when someone is at your door. Oh did I mention pampering is expected from this pooch.

Pug

  • Weight: 14-18lbs
  • Personality: laid back and fun but will need daily exercise. short walks are good enough.

Chihuahua

  • Weight: 2-6lbs literally can fit in your purse or man bag.

English Bull Dog

  • Weight: 49-51 lbs
  • Personality: prefers to hang out on the couch than at the dog park but is very lovable and drools a good bit.

Great Dane

ok so this breed can weigh up to 130lbs but is more of couch potato. So this dog may take up a lot of space on sofa but not your apartment.
