    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 pet dogs.

    Temperament, 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 - Despite appearances, the English Bulldog is a cheerful dog that is more than happy to spend their days sleeping 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 lively and faithful dog. Pugs are a social breed, so their ideal home would include another pet dog or a lot of human interaction. The pug is happy to laze about all day, making him the perfect apartment pal.

    3. Chihuahua - While the Chihuahua calls for minimal exercise, making it ideal for a smaller home, it is very crucial 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 very great with other dogs and children. While they can at first be somewhat hard to train, they only need a small amount of exercise, due to their small legs!

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

Brittany Information

The leggiest of the sporting breeds, the Brittany is square-proportioned, the height at the shoulder equaling the length of the body. It stands slightly higher at the withers than at the rump. It is medium-sized with light bone. The combination of long legs and light bones endows the Brittany with remarkable agility and speed. In fact, the breed is very quick and is noted for its ground-covering side movement at the trot. The Brittany may be born tailless or have the tail docked to about 4 inches. The breed's coat is far less profuse than that of spaniels and is either flat or wavy. An overly profuse coat is detrimental when hunting in briars and is considered a severe fault. The Brittany's expression is alert and eager, but soft. The eyes are protected from briars by a fairly heavy eyebrow. The Brittany is an extremely athletic, eager dog that should be ready and able to run in the field for extended periods.

In temperament, the Brittany is friendly and eager to please. These friendly little dogs hunt more like a Setter due to their pointing ability, and are higher on their legs than other Spaniels. The Brittany does not require a heavy hand in training. In fact, they may quit if the discipline is too stern. Much more is accomplished with a gentle hand. They seek human attention, which makes them easier to train than some other hunting breeds. They make close working hunting dogs, fine companions, and family pets.
