    Best 5 Apartment-Friendly Pet Dog Breeds

    Despite popular belief, size isn't everything when it comes to choosing the most ideal apartment dogs.

    Temperament, bark-levels and a low-energy count are all really good qualities to search for when on the hunt for a well-suited apartment dog. Below is a list of the top apartment frinedly breeds.

    1. English Bulldog - In spite of appearances, the English Bulldog is a cheerful 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 pet or a lot 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 sized home, it is very vital that they receive correct training to avoid the yappy character they are known for. Weighing as little as 1kg, they are effortlessly carried around which is handy for people who travel.

    4. Dachshund - Also known as the 'sausage dog', this friendly breed is quite great with other canines and children. While they can at first 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 need a daily walk to stay happy, but they can be wonderful, caring breed who will remain mostly inactive while indoors.
