What kind of dogs are good?

Question

what kind of dogs would be good for an apartment? i'm thinking of getting an apartment in 2 years. the dogs i can think of are a beagle or a jack russell what other dogs are suitable for apartments?

Answer 1

doberman are Good for apartments yea really they are once u walk them anyway a doberman would be well better than a shih tzu or a small dog

Answer 2

Yorkies are adorable, playful, and don't shed! They are also not too loud like chihuahua or pomeranian. Bull dogs are heart warming with their cute little rolls! If you are looking for a dog that doesn't run around alot than Bull Dogs are certainly what you are looking for. Though they are sweet but watch out as they have a tendency to drool!  

Answer 3

Its always good to have a dog that can kill other dogs/humans. As a women, you need protection from intruders. You need a pit-bull. The chihuahuas bark too many times and can disturb your neighbors next door.

Answer 4

A Caviler King Charles Spaniel is a good dog for an apartment. If too girly, bulldogs are sweet to have.

Answer 5

mixes are really great u get more than one kind,and there are lot's of them around who said u have to buy purebred but any dog would be fine i bet .but don't go to buy one at a pet store adopt ur new pal he'll really appreciate it that's wat i did with my puppy, go on and save a life :)

Answer 6

a chow chow is a good size dog

and very cute!!!!!  lol :)

Answer 7

a Dachshund,English bulldog,Miniature Pincher  are good apartment dogs you'll want a breed that don't yip and bark a lot .One that won't rip the stuffing out of your couch or chew all your shoes while you away .

I'd like to add  no matter the breed you chose Please make sure to get it all of it's shots ! Parvo is the number one killer of puppies and if vaccinated they will be protected from it ! For the love of animals it is very important they get these shots nothing hurts worse then watching your dog die and it could have been prevented .

Answer 11

chihuahuas are great they require hardly little exercise they can get it in the house

Answer 12

The best advice I have for you is to get a rescue.  Find a group that fosters so that they will be able to tell you the temperament of the dog.  

Answer 13

They're called "Jack Russell Terrorists" for a reason.  Great dogs, but VERY high energy.  They'll be difficult to handle in an apartment setting unless you're a jogger or cyclist or something like that.  Beagles are a type of hound.  They have a big bark for such a little dog, and many of them really like to use it!  If you're not able to train your dog to be quiet, you might be in for tough times with neighbors in such close quarters.  

Check out the breed quiz at dogbreedinfo.com for some good ideas, and then spend some time checking out the breeds.  You'll be glad that you did.  Good luck!!

Answer 14

Beagles will "bay", but other than that would be a good choice & Jack Russells are hyper. I would suggest a Maltese (if you don't mind the grooming they are the most docile dogs & make great apartment pets because they don't shed), Westies, Scotties, Yorkies are all good. I would advise against Manchester Terriers who are super-hyper (in my experience). Herding or working dogs need a lot of exercise & running room, so I think it's almost cruel to put them in a small space. You can go to akc.org & do the breed finder survey, which helps match your personality with breeds right for you or of course adopt from the local animal shelter; they really make the best pets!  

Answer 15

Any dog will be fine. Just keep in mind that finding an apartment when you own a dog will be difficult and more expensive.

Answer 16

you should go to your local animal shelter or rescue or whatever and tell them your situation and they can/will match you up with a dog that's right for you

I wouldn't say a beagle for an apartment, though.. they tend to be barkers and they really need a fenced in yard because they tend to get loose and follow their noses and it often leads to trouble for them (hit by car)

Answer 17

I am not sure Beagles and Jack Russel's would be good for an apartment, I would recommend one of the following small breeds that require minimal exercise.

Yorkie

Chihuahua

Havanese

Chinese Crested

Italian Greyhound

Toy Poodle

Papillion

Pug

Corgi

Maltese

Answer 18

Any dog, any breed that is trained, fixed and well cared for can fill that bill.If you do not plan on taking this dog out for long walks then you should not have a dog.If you have included an exercise plan for a dog then any well cared for breed will work. If the only life you are going to offer a dog is the apartment then please get fish instead.Tilks Mom
