You’ve just recently moved into a new apartment with a pretty kitchen, hardwood floors, and nice neighbors – but, there’s something missing. That something missing is a furry friend. If you live in an apartment and are considering adding a dog to your family, keep reading this article to discover some popular apartment-friendly dog breeds that may suit your lifestyle needs.

1. Havanese

Havanese are cheerful, energetic, and always excited to run around the apartment. Because of this, they don’t require a lot of outdoor physical activity. Havanese are great apartment-friendly dogs because of their small size; they perfectly meet almost all apartment dog size requirements. Not to mention, they’re just plain adorable with their fluffy coats.

2. Mastiff

Yes, that’s right – Mastiffs can also be great apartment dogs! Even though they are large, these dogs love to lay around and are the gentle giants of all dog breeds. Just be sure that your apartment has enough space for these lovable dogs and they’ll be happy to live indoors! Mastiffs have low activity levels, so daily walks will be sufficient to maintain your dog’s healthy lifestyle.

3. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are ideal for apartment life; after all, they were bred to lay around in palaces all day! This breed is very sweet and loves to snuggle with you in bed. However, don’t let this fool you; they also enjoy being active. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are adaptable and willing to do all things, whether it is being a couch potato or going on a hike. As long as they are with their owner, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are happy pups!

4. Greyhound

At first glance, Greyhounds seem to have a lot of energy. However, what this breed loves most is cuddling up and being lap dogs. Greyhounds also have very short hair, which will make grooming incredibly easy in your apartment. Not to mention, Greyhounds generally have low noise levels and rarely bark.

5. English Bulldog

The ultimate couch potato: an English Bulldog. We love them for their sweet, calm personalities, which make them great dogs for apartment-living. English Bulldogs are also very restful and have low activity levels. However, be warned that this breed is more prone to health issues due to respiratory issues.

Now that you’ve read this article, hopefully you have an idea of which dog breeds will fit best with your lifestyle. Although not all dog breeds are perfectly-suited for apartment-living, there are so many apartment-friendly dogs that will bring wonderful, loving personalities into your home.
