Anyone thatâs lived next to someone with a chihuahua disagrees.
Lmao, I understand. I'm a chihuahua owner and I know the main thing about them is they bark all the time.
My aunt has a Chihuahua and the Chihuahua hates everyone except me , i am the chosen one
@@DarkPhoenixSaga can we leave chihuahua alone at home on our duty hours
@@ManojKumar-manu Sure why not.
@@DarkPhoenixSaga can it handle 6 hours with a small visit in lunch time?
I noticed in several clips that the dogs appear to be playing in backyards. Not something you associate with an apartment.
You need to walk your dog regardless of where you live
Weâre I live every apartment has a backyard
In Europe, you have higher appartements so, how you gonna have a FRICKING backyard my boy ?!
Mobile Teroque yes thatâs what I meant
Billy Boy I know, but I meant the other kids almost flexing with their petit backyard
No pug, french bulldog, bulldog, beagle, corgi, king Charles spaniel, pekinese, or dachshund in this list... But golden retriever and poodle is on it. Am I missing something?
Well apartment dogs donât always need to be tiny dogs. Iâm not positive about a golden, but poodles are good apartment dogs.
What about Maltese?
Slushdog 101 the point is that small dogs donât need as much exercise, which is important if you live in a flat without a garden
Oh Dear
Not all small dogs are low energy though. Just because a dog is smaller doesnât mean itâs less work/energy.
@@aleksaboci7379 the best dog for apartments is the fastest dog in the world lol
No one ever: "We should get a Golden retriever for our apartment"
omg hahaha same
How its possible
Why not? As long as you take them on long walks to tire them out, play with them, and provide them with mental stimulation like puzzle toys when you have to leave them alone, they should be fine. Goldens are even calmer than Labradors. I have a lab/GSD/border collie mix that has lived in apartments most of her life (she's 12) and she's very calm considering her breed mix.
pooclan lol i have a labrador in my apartment
@@Lioness006 are they ok if we leave them alone while we are at work? that could be 6-8 hrs and entire nights while doing night shifts?
1: Chihuahua
2: Pomeranian
3: Poodle
4: Jack russel terrier
5: Shiba inu
6: Yorkshire terrier
7: Shih tzu
8: Lhasa apso
9: Basenji
10: Golden retriever
thanks
thanks!
I love shiba inu
Dont get a Chihuahua im warning you they cry to much for attention and they bark at mostly anything I have expirienced this
Bird Lover Oh yeah I know. The smallest dogs are the loudestđŹ
This is one of the first lists Iâve come across that actually considers Chihuahuas to be good apartment dogs. Sure theyâre small, but theyâre loud and active and probably wouldnât be welcomed by neighbors.
I have a Chihuahua mix she has barked exactly one time in my apartment
Every dog is different, I have had 3 chihuahuas and none of them are noisy, they only bark to strangers and stop when we tell them.
@@lesliegpe.carloslagunas2548 chihuahuas are a spawn of hell
Yorkies are pretty bad, too.
i have rarely seen a quiet or calm chihuahua lol
Please be careful when adopting a Shiba Inu! The breed is fantastic, but NOT for beginners. You are adopting a wolf in small body. I speak from experience as I have been the proud companion of a Shiba for 12 years. Yes, companion, not owner. Shiba's are much more like cats than like other dogs.
Very true! No dog on our list is one which doesn't need proper socialization, care, education and attention, bu the Shiba may need a little more than others.
I just said the same thing. Same with the Basenji. They are VERY independent.
Lioness006 agreed. Iâve never known a Basenji though so I didnât want to say anything. Some breeds have a bad rep. With the Shiba I know for a 100% sure that the breed is not for everyone. Itâs also not something you can train out of them, no matter how well you socialize them. This is the breed you choose for so you must accept the breed quirks. I hate that the dogs are suffering because the wrong people buy them, thinking itâs an easy dog. Itâs not. Put the effort into them and have the right attitude though and you get the most loyal companion you could ever imagine.
@@lindabroer8995 Yeah. I've never met a Basenji, but from everything I've read about them, they aren't beginner dogs, probably bc they are such an ancient breed. But I have met a Shiba Inu and he was VERY wary of newcomers and very picky about who could touch him and where it was ok to pet him. As long as you followed HIS rules, you were fine. lol Smart, but very stubborn & strong-willed.
Yeah, my shibe is very shy
You forgot the awesome Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - because I have one! A 5 month old small puppy and he is amazing!
Is she loud
@@A21twentyone No. He usually doesn't bark, and we try our best to minimize the times when he feels the need to bark. He is 7 months old now and so much easier to deal with now than when he was a smaller puppy.
@@A21twentyone of course, small dogs have louder barks when they do bark - so yes, technically he is loud, but it depends how well you teach them not to try to be the boss and bark at everything.
@@hamsiniremella4653 No, I certainly don't think he stinks. It all depends on what snacks I feed him - stinky snacks = stinky breath. But the dog smells perfectly fine and I keep giving him loads of kisses. He does shed a bit, since he has long hair. All of my clothes are full of white hairs from him. It's a part of life for us now and you get used to it. I don't mind it at all.
@@hamsiniremella4653 No, we cut him ourselves, especially now in these times. We have trimmers for his paws and use small scissors for the rest of his hair. I might want to get him trimmed "right" for his breed at a salon once a year or so, but if so it's just because I want to, not because I have to.
Rescue Greyhounds. They don't bark, do not need as much exercise as you might think, many can be left home alone whilst you're at work. They're often referred to as 60 km/h couch potatoes. They're like cats on stilts.
I got a rescue greyhound she is so sweet and barely ever barks I have 4 dogs
my sister just got a great dane greyhound mix i cant wait to meet her. i havnt seen much of my family since covid.
This is the most op tier description of Grey hounds ive ever heard
GREYHOUND :D
greyhounds are ugly
Donât you just love when they say these dogs are meant for apartments yet most of these are shown in backyards
this isn't the best list.. and golden retriever would appreciate larger spaces
Same with the larger poodle breeds
They'd appreciate larger spaces, but can still do fine in apartments, provided they get enough exercise and are trained from a young age.
@@Lioness006 idk man, small apartments and energetic dogs with wagging tails do not mix well. And most people also do not have hours every day to go do very exhausting activities with their dog.
@@leaschmitt2496 It's really all about the training. I have a lab/GSD/border collie mix that has lived in apartments most of her life (she's 12) and she's very calm considering her breed mix.
I take my dog out at least 3 times a day and try to get her out to play at least 2 times a day, and she's still doing wonderfully. She even comes to the library and my counseling appointments with me.
Many sites state that Goldens (and labs) can be great apartment dogs and WHY it works. Think about it, most service dogs are labs, goldens, or GSDs and they can live anywhere bc they are trained. I'd say a golden probably needs a good 20-30 minute walk (can be broken up into shorter walks throughout the day) and 30-60 min of play (again, can be broken up into shorter chunks of playtime). ALL dogs need a minimum of 1 hour of walks & play per day to stay healthy in body and mind. If you don't have at least that amount of time to spend with a dog, ANY dog breed, then you shouldn't have a dog.

@@Lioness006 yeah but this is a list for the dogs that would go best in an apartment. So I would understand that those should be dogs that are naturally calm and quiet without the need for lots of extra training and exercise.
Thank you very much đ Animal Wised Very good information
My pug mix is the calmest dog I have ever had and like yeah she plays and also barks at strangers but she doesnât do any mess she is walking around playing with her little toy and also most of the time sheâs sleeping and sheâs only 1 years old I just love her sm
A golden retriever, really???
Why not? As long as you take them on long walks to tire them out, play with them, and provide them with mental stimulation like puzzle toys when you have to leave them alone, they should be fine. Goldens are even calmer than Labradors. I have a lab/GSD/border collie mix that has lived in apartments most of her life (she's 12) and she's very calm considering her breed mix.
@@Lioness006 ya, but a golden retriever is big, muffin mory is looking for a small dog i think
I have a Golden retriever and lab mix who lives in an apartment and he's fine (yes my picture is my dog)
Stuppid Child I think better than a Jack Russel in an apartment. I couldnât handle an active dog in a small area. Size has nothing to do with it :)
Why Not?
They are amazing dogs! I had one as well and she was extremely sweet!
My favorite dogs:
1. Husky
2. Golden Retriever
3. Pomeranian
4. Samoyed
5. French Bulldog
6. Shiba Inu
7. Chihuahua
Thx for this
If u need a small golden retriever thereâs mini golden retriever-
Samoyed I will not recomend for an apartment. Mine lives in the garden and I can barely deal with the hair. Serios work keeping all that hair out of your furniture.
The question is who asked?
I loved my Jack Russell. She had so much character & charm, but she was also super protective and alert. I miss her!
0:32 - Chihuahua
1:00- Pomeranian
1:29- Poodle
1:54- Jack Russel Terrier
2:13- Shiba Inu
2:50- Yorkshire Terrier
3:40- Lhasa Apso
4:09- Basenji
4:43- Golden Retriver (im getting one maybe)
Tell me if i missed some please!
3:14 - Shih Tzu
Did u get a golden retriver yet?
I know itâs a bit of a rarer breed, but the Kooikerhondje is actually quite a great apartment dog!! Of course, they need exercise but every single dog should be taken on multiple walks a day. What a Kooiker really needs is mental stimulation such as nose work (just a short 15 minute session where it gets to use its brain and nose could be enough) which can be done even inside.
AWESOME!!! I can now get one of these dogs cause my mom says to choose one only a little one cause we live in a small apartment
A Dachshund is a PERFECT apartment dog.
for the love of god DONT get a jack russel in an apartment. WTF is that breed doing on this list?
Omg i totally agree
Are they very active?
@@destituteanddecadent9106 this is a 9 month old comment but still YES THEY ARE : active, MINE LEARNED TO JUMP IN BEDS AT 3 MONTHS, IT loves biting wires They run everywhere, if you are a couch potato then you are doomed because this guys dont stop running but They arent THAT bad as long as you keep them away from important stuff
@@Jackgamingl I guess that's why I don't see them often around my town (most non-millionaires live in hobbit size apartments)
The Pomeranian is my favorite breed of dog. I will probably be living in my apartment longer than I planned. I am thinking about buying a Pomeranian in the next year even if I don't buy a townhouse that soon.
Really Amazing video, so helpful, Enjoed this video, share it, Thankyou.đđ¶đźđł
Greyhounds! Lovable and easy dogs who aren't loud.
I'm looking forward in the future to get an apartment dog đ and I think a toy poodle would be good for me
...I donât even live in an apartment but Iâm still gonna watch
My family have feed miniature pinscher, in Viet Nam, a lot of people feed them. Miniature pincher is smart, protect owner, beautiful. I'm amazed when this video don't have name of it. And I realized not much people in the world know about miniature pincher.
I have a Lhasa also and he's so cute đ
I'm not an expert but you are quite wrong to put Jack Russell on this list. They have A LOT of energy and even though they are small they need a lot of space to run around and jump. So if you consider buying a Jack Russell make sure you have a house with a yard or an apartment that is very big and spacious.
Also I totally agree about the Golden Retiriever :)
No Corgi? No Pug? No Maltese? Scottish Terrier? Basset Hound? Italian Greyhound? Cocker Spaniel? Papillon? West Highland White Terrier? Boston Terrier? French Bulldog? Any of these would be better than a chihuahua. I had neighbors with a chihuahua and that thing barked constantly and it was so high pitched and carried. Shiba Inus and Basenjis are not for inexperienced dog owners.
Lioness006 My friend's corgi is waaayyyy too energetic and crazy for an apartment. I do agree with pug and some of the others however
@@kimd9498 They're relatively small and should be ok with sufficient exercise. Most websites that list good apartment dogs have corgis on their list. Maybe your friend's corgi is an exception? Or doesn't get enough exercise & stimulation?
I nearly fully agree with you accept for corgi just because its small doesnt make it suitable for apartment living but the rest I totally agree with :)
Pugs, French bulldogs, beagles! All missing from this list! Kinda incomplete list my friend!
Exactly Priyanka as I have pug with me in my flat in Mumbai and he is highly active,tall and slim and handsome too lol anyway good to find an indian comment here :)
Im not so sure about a beagle... i had one and he was VERY energetic like to the max and also kinda destructive because they are known to be hunting dogsđ€but obviously all dogs have different personalities
@@lizzypienaar4527 beagles tend to be very vocal. So not really neighbour friendly.
Wait I have a question so if a Yorkshire terrier is allowed to be in apartments what about a Maltese or morkie please answer Iâm moving to a new apartment and thinking of getting one of these dogs a Maltese or a morkie would that be okay or would they not be thank you
Thank you
as for the jack russell "terror" those dogs are stubborn n smart AF.... wouldnt even consider them to be apartment dogs... but hey heechul from super junior owns one n it behaves quite well
Dogs are really best friend of humans. I want a dog that is very friendly, socialised and intelligent.
Chihuahuas are energetic, though small. But yes, again they require lots of attention. So they should be in bigger houses.
Hi I'm 12 and I have a jackshipoo ( jack Russell poodle and shih tzu mix ) and he is very loyal and kind he's also very protective and sometimes barks at the door but I want him to get a friend I was thinking of a pomsky or pomeranian so this helped thx
Im pretty sure yorkshire terriers like to bark alot and quite the drama queens.But obviously every dog has its own personality.
What medium and large dogs are well suited for a flat if they get exercised enough? I have 2 other small dogs but will be looking to get a bigger dog. Want one that can be trained as a service dog for anxiety
We are selling 5 of our puppies for half the price due to a capacity problem we are currently facing.
Please contact us if youâre interested and searching for a fur baby
We have a White Fur Shiba Inu with a small red fur pattern. Her name is Momo, her mother bit half of her left ear off at birth, sheâs such a good girl and is very active and is always super happy.
The only reason I see why ppl would confuse a Shiba and an Akita is cuz their body form is 100% identical but the Akita is 2x bigger than a Shiba and has almost 2x the fur. Shiba is Japanâs small breed and Akita is Japanâs medium breed.
I would add, Miniature and Standard Schnauzer
I have got three colour shih tzu girl, she's very cute. â€ïž
âShiba Inu have gained popularity due to their tender appearance and soft coat.â
If only Iâd bought Doge coin when this video was made.
I finde my dog jack Russellâ€đ¶
This is very informative and at the same time very useful to those who are living in apartment who are planning to get a dog.
Chihuahuas are the best choice and I own one. My dad owns two chihuahua mixes they bark their heads off and have alot of energy but they are nice dogs.
The video mentioned that Pomeranians were always bred as companion dogs. That's not completely accurate. Originally Poms were 20 to 30 pound sled or herding dogs. They were bred down in size because Queen Elizabeth 1 preferred a smaller dog. So some poms may still retain a bit of working dog ethic.
The most inaccurate list! Small dogs does not equal apartment dogs. Put some effort into researching before making these lists!
What would you recommend? I really want a dog but I live in a dorm atm and even if I move out it's probably going to be an apartment so I'm thinking a smaller dog who doesn't bark very much and can stay home alone during the day is my only option.
Lurn how to spell
Pomeranians are awesome dogs. They're like little clowns. They'll definitely make you laugh!! Jack Russell's are awesome too. I have a friend who has one. He's an old man and I miss him. I haven't seen him for a while. I really like most of these dogs. Chihuahuas not so much. Big dogs in an apartment? Depends on the size of the apartment.
Hey! I can't choose which dog is the better. Pomeranian/Golden Retriever? Please help me.
the dog is so cute
I mean its not bad to have a golden retriever in an apartment but they probably would appreciate
a bigger space
i loved pomerian and chuvahva
My favorite ones are 9 and 10
We don't live on apartment our house is apartment sizeđ
Wife: honey we should get a poodle
Husband: to big
Wife: golden retriever
Husband: Owa good thinking I will look for one to buy ASAP
AW SO CUTEEEEEEE EEKK
I think that poodles are awesome outa all dog breeds.
Iâm just looking for puppies that are easy to have so I know what I want next year
I have a mix terrier dog. â€ïž
Mmm i love all dog))))
when your pet is a meme lord đ 0:41
I live in an apartment and really want to have a dog cuz I love them but I can see so many people don't agree to the list I'm having a hard time deciding which breed to go for can anyone help out?
Few things that I need to mention..
It is an apartment so the dog should be small and I can not handle unnecessary barking, everyone is quite busy in my house I myself am a student so the dog should be able to stay alone in the apartment for 4-5 hours..
It shouldn't be active beyond control I can't take the dog out more than once a day..
I know this is too much but I really want to have a dog can't decide which breed because of these conditions đ
Get a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel . They come in 4 beautiful color patterns . They are very quiet . 1 30 minute walk a day from 6 months to adult should be good y you can now buy Doggy Litter y litter train these pups ! They are SOOOOOOO adorable ! Long floppy ears ! Google them . đ . In my eyes they give Chihuahuas a run for their Cuteness Because Both Chihuahuas y Cavaliers are Superb y Super Super Big Eyed Dogs !
I had a dog that looked like Belgian melanois and a chihuahua breed and was very noisy and energetic and needed lots of attention
Me staring at the bump 1:59 on the dog eye be like: đđđ
Lhasa apso are great apartment dogs
i hope one day i get a black and tan pomeranian dog there soo cute i watch their videos but i don't know were i get one
Next video I need: Apartment Dogs That Do Well With Heat
now to convince my parents
When a chihuahua gets recommended as a good apt dog,you get a down vote from me. They are way to noisy and neurotic.As for Jack Russel's,we currently have a jr/lapsa apsa mix and he's a noisy stubborn little booger. While he does have his good points,and unfortunately we have become attached to him,unfortunately he's even managed to get me attached,he is noisy.He will sometimes look out the window and bark at all the neighbors. On the good side however is he did catch and kill a mouse.
Chihuahuas can be very normal dogs but of course need adequate training. Their small size makes things scary for them so they need to be introduced to the world in a good way. Too many people just disregard training due to their size and treat them like spoiled babies. No wonder they get a bad stigma for being mean and neurotic.
Jack Russells are VERY energetic, clever, and can be quite loud with their barking. They are rodent killers though. That's kind of their purpose. That also means they don't usually do well with smaller animals and don't do well with cats.
Got a double take from me when I read mouse as moose...
I wanted to get coko labradora but vet told me ist not for apartment coz is sheds a lot. He actually recommended me Italian Lagoto
Boston Terrier!
How could I not have the Maltese in the list !
So is the Pug not a good apartment dog? I was thinking about getting one.
What about the Miniature Schnauzer?????
Cute doguy
the best one for me is actually a boston terrier
I love my Maltese
I dont understand why chihuahuas and poms get such bad feed back as apartment dogs? They are the smallest breeds? . I have an apt and have had both pom and chihuahua they make excellent companions... all dogs bark. My neighbors have large dogs and they bark more than my chihuahua ever did. My chihuahua passed earlier this month just shy of 17 yrs old. She was the sweetest dog...She was nice to everyone and never barked.. They do live alot longer than most breeds so they definitely are a long term commitment
I had a chihuahua she always barked.
Riiight try keeping a JRT in an enclosed space....
What video is the first image of the basenji from? I see this girl a lot.
Pomeranianâ€ïž
I had a jack russel terrier,they are lovely but they definitely wouldnt be good in apartments,i had her in my parents house and when she was young all of the furniture was bitten up,they are too energetic for an apartment
Do not get a jack russell terrier in an apartment they have way to much energy
How about wait till you actually have a place a dog could live without spending its entire life waiting in a hot apartment for some dumb fk to get home, what a GREAT life for a dog, disgusting...
@@stclairstclair wow, come to a conclusion. Not everyone can afford a lovely luxury house and still spoil their dogs in their "hot apartment". Get a life instead of judging others on the internet as you are the one who is messed up
I agree. I have a Jackapoo (mainly jack russell) in my apartment and it was a mistake but we exercise him a lot and it keeps his energy levels down a bit
Ruby Rogers, In a world that turns their backs on animals daily I can and do judge people, KMA.
@@stclairstclair But I am just saying that some people love their dogs and take them out very often and spoil them (thats what I do anyway) even though they live in an apartment. I do however have a communal garden down the stairs which they are let off in anyway and we go to the woods everyday.
My dream dog breed is a pomeranian a black and white coloured pomeranian
Miniature pinscher, or whisky dogs.
I would like to have a small dog in my apartment. A small dog that doesn't bark much. What would be the best breed?
My dog is almost a full jack russle terrier and she's almost twice the size
I strongly disagree with chi and poms in an apartment. My mum has them and they are extremely disruptive. Also a Jack Russel is pretty inappropriate as they are extremely energetic. Unless you donât work and have it out with you all the time I wouldnât keep one in a small space.
surprised French Bulldog was not mentioned tbh.
what happened with Pug?
Abundantia exactly
Chihuahuas are very active dogsđ¶
Cane Corso is the best apartment dog tbh.
I keep mine locked up in a dark room. I occasionally thump on the door vigorously and scream at him when it seems to me that he is fast asleep. It's also fun to mock him from a distance when he is all chained up and hungry. But Once he broke out of the room and bit my arm off, I ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks. I don't understand what is wrong with him. :(
is this normal?
Pomeranian perfect
I love the girl at 5:19 đ
Just follow your instincts
Videos like this are a reason why dog shelters are full.
A miniature schnauzer should be on the list.
