    Top 5 Apartment-Friendly Canine Breeds

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

    Personality, bark-levels and a low-energy count are all excellent characteristics to search 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 an uplifting dog that is more than happy to spend their days snoozing on the couch. They will rarely 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 include another pet or lots of human interaction. The pug is content to laze about all day, making him the perfect apartment buddy.

    3. Chihuahua - While the Chihuahua calls for minimal exercise, making it perfect for a smaller home, it is very crucial that they receive correct 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 good with other dogs and children. While they can initially be somewhat hard 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 call for a daily walk to stay happy, but they can be fantastic, caring breed who will remain mostly inactive while indoors.

Kyi-Leo Information

The Kyi-Leo reaches 8-12 inches in height and 9-14 pounds in weight. It has a long silky coat, most commonly black and white but sometimes gold and white, which tends to grow to long lengths (never quite reaching past the floor) if tended properly. Its hair also grows on its face and tail. It has small yet delicate legs that are prone to damage if dropped, but the Kyi-Leo can be very agile and quick. The Kyi-Leo has notable similarities, in body size, shape, and hair, to the Shih Tzu dog breed though the eyes are more human set rather than bulging and they do not have the short-snout face.

The Kyi-Leo is generally calm, obedient, quiet, and difficult to provoke. It is usually very playful and active around trusted humans or animals, but tends to stay cautious and alert around strangers. Its acute hearing makes it a decent watchdog. It ideally lives in indoor settings and can be very patient when left alone for long hours at a time.
