    Top 5 Apartment-Friendly Canine Breeds

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

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

    1. English Bulldog - Regardless of appearances, the English Bulldog is a happy dog that is more than happy to spend their days napping on the couch. They will rarely 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 perfect home would involve another dog or lots of human interaction. The pug is content to laze about all day, making him the perfect apartment pal.

    3. Chihuahua - While the Chihuahua calls for minimal exercise, making it perfect for a smaller sized 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 individuals who travel.

    4. Dachshund - Also known as the 'sausage dog', this friendly breed is very 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 call for a daily walk to stay pleased, but they can be fantastic, affectionate breed who will remain mostly inactive while indoors.
