    Top 5 Apartment-Friendly Dog Breeds

    Regardless of popular belief, size isn't everything when it comes to looking for the most ideal apartment pet dogs.

    Personality, bark-levels and a low-energy count are all great characteristics to look for when on the hunt for a well-suited apartment canine. Below is a list of the top apartment frinedly breeds.

    1. English Bulldog - Regardless of appearances, the English Bulldog is a cheery dog that is more than happy to spend their days napping on the couch. They will barely bark, and are fantastic 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 spirited and faithful dog. Pugs are a social breed, so their perfect home would involve another pet dog or a lot of human interaction. The pug is happy to laze about all day, making him the perfect apartment friend.

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

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

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

Bred to work in packs as well as on their own, they get along well with other dogs and are not overly possessive about anything. They are fine companion for children.
