Small dogs who make good apartment dogs

Be they big dogs or small dogs the adaptability of a dog to a small living space like an apartment or condo depends primarily on the dog's energy level and exercise routine. High energy dogs may be quite happy living in an apartment as long as the owner is fufilling the dog's mental and physical fitness needs.The higher the energy level the more time you will need to spend doing activities with your dog like walking or jogging.While dogs with lower energy levels may require less exercise they still need exercise or they can become overweight, destructive and depressed.

Since small dogs take up less space, many apartment dwellers prefer the smaller breeds.
