Having a dog is a big (but fun) responsibility, especially if you live in an apartment in the heart of a city. Making sure your dog is compatible with your lifestyle is key to finding the right dog for you. While all dogs are unique, here are a few popular dog breeds that tend to work well in apartments (and a few that don\u2019t):<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>The Best Dogs for Apartments<\/b><\/h1>\n<h2><b>Greyhounds<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2252 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/greyhound-pupper-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one might seem surprising, as greyhounds are famously huge. But despite their size, these cuddly breeds are lazy, so they just need one good walk every day to wear them out. They\u2019re also quiet and shed very little, making them a perfect dog for someone who wants a big pet, but lives in a small space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bulldogs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2253 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/bulldog-dog-pet-breed-160748-1024x674.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"540\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether American or French, these dogs are low-energy snugglers. While they do slobber, they don\u2019t shed in large batches like labradors or other large dogs do. They also have a nice range in size (French Bulldogs can be quite tiny, whereas American Bulldogs can be heartily medium-sized), so you can find one that fits your preference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Dachshunds<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2254\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/dachshund-pupper-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/dachshund-pupper-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/dachshund-pupper-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/dachshund-pupper-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/dachshund-pupper-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/dachshund-pupper.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only are these sweeties adorable to come home to, they\u2019re also perfect for less active apartment dwellers. Their short legs mean that even one long walk a day is a big adventure for them, and their popularity means they\u2019ll get stopped by everyone when they go outside. If you still need convincing, just look at that face!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pugs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2255\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/pug-pupper-1024x593.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"475\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like Dachshunds, Pugs are known for their sweet dispositions and low energy. These lovers tend to huff and puff just getting up the front steps to your apartment, so they won\u2019t be needing long runs through the park every day. However, they can grow very attached to their owners, so they\u2019re best suited for someone who spends a lot of time at home or can bring them to their work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Basenjis<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2256\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2990464679_50fa3086b5_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though they\u2019re not very popular in the U.S., Basenjis are great dogs for apartment dwellers looking for a small, low-maintenance dog. They don\u2019t shed, rarely grow taller than 18\u201d, and are the only dog that doesn\u2019t bark. However, they do require a fair amount of exercise and lots of toys to quell their complex mind, so they\u2019re better for more active and athletic owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Cavalier King Charles Spaniels<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2257\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/king-charles-spaniel-pupper-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While their fanciful name may make it sound like they prefer a palace, these small and loving dogs make for excellent apartment pups. Unlike many small dog breeds, they don\u2019t bark often, and tend to be more subdued. They will stick close to you while you\u2019re home, but they don\u2019t need much space &#8211; in fact, they\u2019re one of few breeds that prefers to be inside next to you than outside roaming free.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Shih Tzus<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2258\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shih-tzu-pupper-1024x681.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shih-tzu-pupper-1024x681.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shih-tzu-pupper-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shih-tzu-pupper-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shih-tzu-pupper-1536x1022.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shih-tzu-pupper.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not very surprising that these tiny, snuggly dogs are perfect for apartments. They don\u2019t require much maintenance or feeding, and due to their tiny nature, they\u2019re best left indoors, where they\u2019re not susceptible to extreme temperature changes. But while they\u2019re not overtly energetic, they will bark at strangers in your building, so make sure your neighbors get to know the dogs well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Boston Terriers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2259\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/boston-terrier-pupper-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/boston-terrier-pupper-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/boston-terrier-pupper-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/boston-terrier-pupper-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/boston-terrier-pupper-1536x1019.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/boston-terrier-pupper.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These \u201cAmerican Gentleman\u201d have all the ruggedness and energy of a large dog with all the perks of a small one. They\u2019re not a lap dog, but they\u2019ll stick by your side day in and day out. It\u2019s worth noting that Boston Terriers are very individualistic, so make sure to observe the individual pup you\u2019re considering before opting for any boston terrier. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pembroke Welsh Corgis<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2260\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/corgi-pupperoni-1024x741.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/corgi-pupperoni-1024x741.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/corgi-pupperoni-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/corgi-pupperoni-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/corgi-pupperoni-1536x1111.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/corgi-pupperoni.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The queen may have a castle for her corgis, but most are content in your apartment. Corgis are watchful dogs, so they do well in an apartment with windows where they can watch the street outside. Their best situation is an owner who can take them on long walks and lives near a dog park, but they still work in small apartments due to their small size and cuddly nature. Keep a few enrichment toys around while you\u2019re at work and your corgi will be plenty happy in your apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>The Worst Dogs for Apartments<\/b><\/h1>\n<h2><b>Cattle Dogs &amp; Border Collies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2261\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/border-collie-pupper-1024x648.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"519\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These beautiful, energetic dogs are built for living on farms and herding animals, which makes them a poor fit for your tiny apartment. They need wide open spaces and the ability to roam free, so even though they\u2019re not very large, they aren\u2019t well suited for a small apartment home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Beagles<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2262\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/beagle-pupper-1024x587.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/beagle-pupper-1024x587.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/beagle-pupper-300x172.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/beagle-pupper-768x440.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/beagle-pupper-1536x881.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/beagle-pupper.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t let their sweet eyes suck you in &#8211; beagles are famously loud, barking dogs who don\u2019t do well with neighbors. They were originally bred for hunting, so these pups have a tendency to sniff out any food you might leave out (and if they can sniff it, they will find it and eat it). They do best in a home with a fenced-in yard where they can chase down squirrels &#8211; not in a tiny townhome.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Chihuahuas &amp; Yorkshire Terriers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2263\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/chih-pupper-1024x1022.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"818\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their small size makes them sound like great apartment dwellers, but don\u2019t be fooled: these energetic, loud pups are best suited in homes without nearby neighbors. They bark at all hours of the day or night, have remarkable energy considering their small size, and sometimes have aggressive, territorial attitudes that can lead to conflict with other dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>German Shepherds<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2264\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/german-shepherd-pupper-1024x769.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"616\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just by looking at German Shepherds, you should realize why they\u2019re not well-suited for apartments: they\u2019re huge! They\u2019re also high energy, requiring frequent attention and lots of activity. In case that wasn\u2019t enough reasons to keep them out of a small apartment, german shepherds are naturally territorial, and though they\u2019re not vicious, they don\u2019t understand that the entire building isn\u2019t their territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Labradors<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2265\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lab-pupper-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lab-pupper-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lab-pupper-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lab-pupper-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lab-pupper-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lab-pupper.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/petsnerd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/petsnerd.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1565114501697000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFP7fDCStNVx1oPlFAtIbzlWiNrVg\"><span class=\"m_3861905794759574691gmail-s2\">Patrice Alsteen<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like German Shepherds, these sweet companion dogs are big and energetic, requiring constant attention and activity. They\u2019re also clumsy, often prone to knocking over everything from lamps to dishes to anything breakable. Keep in mind that they\u2019re also very curious, so they may be jumping at the door every time a neighbor goes by. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Huskies &amp; Malamutes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2266\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/husky-pupper-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/husky-pupper-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/husky-pupper-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/husky-pupper-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/husky-pupper-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/husky-pupper.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would you ever try to raise a wolf in an apartment? Nope. So you probably shouldn\u2019t try to raise a husky or malamute in one, either. Both these breeds are closely related to wolves, and as such, are high energy, extremely loyal to their pack, very large, and shed thick hair everywhere. In short: they are meant for anything BUT an apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need to bring home a new, dog-friendly couch?
