    Best 5 Apartment-Friendly Pet Dog Breeds

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

    Temperament, bark-levels and a low-energy count are all really good features to look for when on the hunt for a suitable apartment canine. 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 snoozing on the couch. They will barely bark, and are great 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 loyal dog. Pugs are a social breed, so their ideal home would involve another canine or lots 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 perfect for a smaller home, it is very vital that they receive appropriate training to avoid the yappy character they are known for. Weighing as little as 1kg, they are easily carried around which is handy for people who travel.

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

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