5 dog breeds that are ideal for small apartments
Do you want to get a dog but live in a small apartment? No problem! Not all dogs need a lot of space to run around and play.

If you have a modest living space, here are 5 dog breeds to consider.
Miniature poodle
The height of a miniature poodle is: 28-38 cm, and it weighs on average: 6-8 kg, which is significantly less than the size of a regular poodle. These dogs are playful, sociable, and intelligent, and they love to spend time with their owners at home and outdoors.
Thanks to their intelligence, size, and hypoallergenic coat, dwarf poodles are perfect for apartment living.
Pug
Pugs are low-maintenance and feel great within four walls.
These small, playful, and sociable dogs do not require much exercise, which makes them ideal for keeping in apartments. As a rule, a daily walk of fifteen to twenty minutes is enough for a Pug to feel good.
Bulldog
The bulldog is a calm, balanced dog that is easy to train and educate. Bulldogs spend the whole day indoors, and a 15-20 minute walk is enough to unwind them.
It is important to remember that this breed does not tolerate heat, open sunlight, and needs cleanliness and care.
Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu is a cheerful breed of "toy" dog with a calm and loyal character. Due to their small size, they do not require large areas, and to keep fit, they need to run around the house for a little while after a toy.
These gentle dogs also get along well with children and pets.
Beagle
Beagles do not require much care and are ideal for apartments.
These dogs like to spend time with people at home, but sometimes they don't mind going to the park or other public places. However, Beagles require proper training to prevent noise complaints from neighbors due to their outstanding vocal skills.
