What type of dog would be best suited to live in an apartment2007-11-25 2:53:43Answers:

We need to know more details...

Realistically...

how much time a day can you exercise the dog?

how much time can you spend with the dog at home?

do you have many people over regularly?

do you plan on having children in the next 10 years?

where will you be living when your lease is up?

do you travel much?

where do you plan for your dog to relieve itself?

how do you landlord/neighbors feel about dogs?

why do you want a dog?

Small, well behaved, housebroken and doesn't bark when alone. Maybe a cat?

---

Tell us about your lifestyle other than the apartment. How long are you away during the day? How much time can you devote each day to walking/training the dog?

We need to know a bit more other than 'an apartment' to make appropriate recommendations.

That depends. I think Great Danes make great apartment dogs - despite their size, they fold up into nice, neat packages.

But for many people any small-medium dog that doesn't bark a lot or tear things up is good.

Try an older, rescue animal - a senior citizen dog from a shelter is especially nice because they're mellow, don't bark a lot and truly appreciate a good home. No, they won't live as long as a brand new puppy but older dogs are don't chew things or poop on the floor.
