    Top 5 Apartment-Friendly Pet Dog Breeds

    Despite popular belief, size isn't everything when it comes to finding the most ideal apartment pet dogs.

    Personality, bark-levels and a low-energy count are all really good traits to search for when on the hunt for an ideal apartment pet dog. Below is a list of the top apartment frinedly breeds.

    1. English Bulldog - Despite appearances, the English Bulldog is an uplifting dog that is more than happy to spend their days napping on the couch. They will barely bark, and are terrific with children in spite of their stocky build which has them weighing upwards of 22kg!

    2. Pug - Love them or hate them, the modest pug is a playful and loyal dog. Pugs are a social breed, so their ideal home would involve another pet dog or lots of human interaction. The pug is satisfied to laze about all day, making him the perfect apartment pal.

    3. Chihuahua - While the Chihuahua needs minimal exercise, making it ideal for a smaller sized home, it is very important that they receive proper training to avoid the yappy character they are known for. Weighing as little as 1kg, they are effortlessly carried around which is handy for individuals who travel.

    4. Dachshund - Also known as the 'sausage dog', this friendly breed is quite good with other dogs and children. While they can initially be somewhat difficult to train, they only need a small amount of exercise, due to their very small legs!

    5. Boston Terrier - Another breed perfect due to their size, the Boston Terrier will require a daily walk to stay happy, but they can be wonderful, caring breed who will remain mostly inactive while indoors.

Norwich Terrier Information

This spirited dog, one of the smallest of the working terriers, is sturdy and stocky, of square proportion. Its small size is an asset when following vermin or fox down tight passageways. Its teeth are large, to aid in dispatching its quarry. It shows great power in its movement. The tail should be long enough to grasp firmly, so that the dog can be pulled from a hole. The double coat has a hard, wiry and straight outer coat that lies close to the body and is thicker around the mane for protection. The dog bears a slightly foxy expression.

The Norwich terrier, like the Norfolk, is a true terrier at heart, always ready for adventure and excitement. It is a hunter and may chase small animals. It is a pert, independent, amusing — but sometimes challenging — companion, best suited for people with a sense of adventure and humor.
