    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 features to look for when on the hunt for an appropriate apartment dog. Below is a list of the best apartment frinedly breeds.

    1. English Bulldog - In spite 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 humble pug is a lively and loyal dog. Pugs are a social breed, so their perfect home would involve another pet dog or plenty of human interaction. The pug is content to laze about all day, making him the perfect apartment pal.

    3. Chihuahua - While the Chihuahua needs minimal exercise, making it ideal for a smaller sized home, it is very vital that they receive appropriate training to avoid the yappy personality 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 canines and children. While they can originally be somewhat difficult to train, they only need a small amount of exercise, due to their very small legs!

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

It is described as having a gentle sociable nature, possessing a good character and being relatively easy to train. In France, the breed is used for hunting in wooded areas for Pheasants, and in swamps for Snipes. However it can also be used for hunting ducks, hares and rabbits. The breed excels at hunting in marshes and will not hesitate to jump into water. It can also adequately serve as a retriever should it be required. The dog is content with a small amount of space and could suit life in the city, but also loves open spaces.
