Dogs have
always been considered a good company for men; they are loyal, friendly, and
they are always willing to give love. Many people enjoy having a dog, even when
they have to live all together in the smallest apartment ever.
Even though
some people like big dogs, the truth is that in small apartments, having a big
dog wouldn’t be good for either the dog or the person living there; the best
option is to have small or medium-sized dogs.
Before
mentioning some of the breeds of dogs that would adapt best to living in an
apartment, it should be mentioned that even if you have a small dog, they
always need to take fresh air, move, and do some exercise. It is not good for a
dog to be locked all day anywhere.
Now, we
will now mention some of the dogs that could get used to living in an
apartment:
Pug: They are very small, good
companions, although they can be a bit jealous.
English bulldog: This breed doesn’t need to do too
much exercise, which makes them perfect for those living in an apartment. They
are an easy breed to train, and they are really good companions.
French bulldog: This breed is loyal and friendly,
and it generally adapts to its owner and not to the place they live in, which
means they should adapt great to an apartment.
Maltese: Maltese dogs are quiet and
sociable. Even though they enjoy the outdoors, they are a good option for those
living in an apartment, since they spend a lot of time resting.
Poodle: This breed requires only little
time in the outdoors, and they don’t usually smell, which is perfect if you are
living in small places.
Cocker Spaniel: Besides being really cute, cockers
usually adapt to the space that surrounds them, which means they are ideal for
apartments (plus, they are small sized).
Pekingese dogs: The good thing about this breed is
that they tend to be more independent that other dogs, and they don’t usually
get on top of its owner and stick to him/her all day long; The dog will be
happy by just having its owner near (in the same room).
The good
thing about dogs, in comparison with cats, is that they generally care more
about the owner than the place they live in, so they tend to adapt easier to
small places. Still, you shouldn’t forget that they are living creatures and
they have needs. So you should pay attention to them, play, take them out, etc…
So if you are planning to have a dog in an apartment, you should at least take
him out once or twice a day.
