10 races of dogs ideal for those who live in the apartment


Reduced spaces are not an obstacle for those who want to have a dog at home




Having a dog at home is the desire of many Brazilians, even among those who live in apartments. When choosing the best “ideal” friend for this space, it is important to consider the dimensions of the animal, temperament, the level of energy and the need for daily stimuli.

According to the veterinarian Andressa Gontijo, the dogs less subject to excessive barking and with a lower demand for intense exercise are, in general, those that fit better to the routine of those who live in smaller spaces. “The breeds that tend to bark less are Shih-Tzu. Lhasa opso, Maltese and Pug,” he said in his YouTube channel.

So you know the most recommended races for this type of environment:

1. Shih-Tzu

Small, silent and with docile temperament, Shih-Tzu is the favorite for life in an apartment. Despite appreciating the company, it is usually quiet and requires only light tours and interactions with tutors.

2. French bulldog

Affectionate, stable and uncommon, the French bulldog adapts well to internal environments. Since it has a short muzzle, it does not tolerate a very hot or intense physical activity, which ends up being compatible with life in an apartment.

3. Pug

Compact and sociable, Pug is ideal for those who want a company dog. Like French bulldog, it needs attention to heat and tends to exercise in moderation. It requires frequent brushing and overweight care.

4. Yorkshire

Although small and adaptable, Yorkshire can be a little more agitated. However, with short routine routines and stimuli at home, it lives well in apartments. Socialization from a puppy helps to avoid excessive barking.

5. Maltese

Very sociable and calm, Maltese is a classic dog. It requires frequent brushing and I like daily interactions, but it does not require large spaces. Usually it barks little and it is easy to train.

6. Lhasa opso

This breed tends to be quiet and independent. Although it is fragile, the Lhasa is resistant and adapts well to the routines with less space. It needs stimulus to not develop possessive behaviors.

7. Bassollo (sausage)

Small and intelligent, Dachshund can live well in apartments if it has a normal routine of tours and games. It tends to be alert and vocal, then training is recommended early.

8. Poodle (toy or miniature)

Intelligent, sociable and obedient, the poodle is highly adaptable. It requires mental stimuli, but lives well in reduced spaces. Cortexes can be controlled with training. Another advantage is the hypoallergenic coat, ideal for those with allergies.

9. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Sliced and calm, this small dog is quite adaptable. Usually he gets along with children and other pets. Despite having a silent profile, it requires light daily tours.

10.

Definite -free dogs can also adapt perfectly to the apartments, in particular the small or medium and balanced temperament. Conscious adoption and good evaluation of the behavioral profile are fundamental for the success of coexistence.
