    Top 5 Apartment-Friendly Dog Breeds

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

    Temperament, bark-levels and a low-energy count are all excellent attributes to look for when on the hunt for an ideal apartment canine. Below is a list of the best apartment frinedly breeds.

    1. English Bulldog - In spite of appearances, the English Bulldog is an uplifting dog that is more than happy to spend their days sleeping 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 humble pug is a spirited and loyal dog. Pugs are a social breed, so their ideal home would include another dog or plenty of human interaction. The pug is satisfied to laze about all day, making him the perfect apartment buddy.

    3. Chihuahua - While the Chihuahua needs minimal exercise, making it ideal for a smaller home, it is very essential that they receive correct training to avoid the yappy personality 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 at first be somewhat tough to train, they only need a small amount of exercise, due to their little legs!

    5. Boston Terrier - Another breed right due to their size, the Boston Terrier will need a daily walk to stay happy, but they can be fantastic, affectionate breed who will remain mostly inactive while indoors.

Norwegian Lundehund Information

The Norwegian Lundehund is a small and agile Spitz breed with several unique characteristics in combination not found in any other dog. Features such as six toes on each foot; prick ears that fold closed, forward or backward at will; and the ability to tip the head backward until it touches the back bone all helped them perform their job as Puffin hunter. Their dense coat ranges from fallow to reddish brown to tan in color, with black hair tips and white markings, or white with red or dark markings.

Their superior personality, even disposition and small size make them an ideal, easy-to-live-with pet, although they may be wary of strangers. Consistency in the home environment is extremely important, as is consistency in training, house training, and socialization. Lundehund is very sensitive and can develop trust issues with an owner who tries to trick him into doing things - you can only fool a Lundehund once. They are incredibly clever and fun-loving, making them delightful and sometimes challenging.
