I am moving into a one bedroom apt. for myself in about a month, and am wanting a dog for a companion. I really don't dig small dogs, but I know a large dog wouldn't be happy in such small quarters. Does anyone have a breed they could recommend? I also want an active dog, one that likes to go for walks, jogs, or trips to the park to play. My sister has a Corgi and she is trying to talk me into getting one of those. I do love her little Murphie, and he does well in the apt. she lives in. However, I want something different. I appreciate any feedback!

I'f you want the dog to protect you as well, Doberman Pinscher.
Otherwise, a Golden Retriever is what i'd choose.
(Doberman Pinscher's bark alot)

any canines would be a shield canines to a pair quantity. in case you safeguard it, this is going to love you and of direction do each thing it may to guard you.vast canines and little canines are each and all the comparable in this appreciate. a small canines could be waiting to provide you with a warning if somebody is sneeking around youre place with the aid of barking. sometimes in basic terms making a great variety of noise could make a could be criminal pass on. in case you're finding for a canines to bodily defend you than you will need some thing larger. boxers, dobermans, and a few form of bull terrier are the only medium sized canines that could definitely scare me. i think of that they are all definitely seen super breeds although. I definitely have a doberman. he's superb cool and has an wonderful personallity. he's likewise quite intimidating to all people who doesnt be responsive to him. he in basic terms feels like a badass. hes a super infant although. additionally, dobermans could be in basic terms somewhat a undertaking to a common time canines proprietor. they seem to be a breed that desires psychological stimulation and a great variety of exercising. a bored dobie could nicely be extremely a discomfort in the ***. do us all a choose, dont get a doberman, boxer, pit bull, rottie, or the different "risky" breed except you intend to put in the time to coach it to be a nicely behaved occasion of its breed. too many people blame the canines whilst the owner is an asshole.

Cocker Spaniels,Dalmations,Schnauzer's, these are all good dogs, they are active and very smart (your gonna need that to house break them). Make sure you get a female, because even if you house break a male dog, once they smell the scent of any other animal in the home, they will start spraying everywhere to show that, that is there territory. Good Luck !!

Miniature schnauzer is what you need, my friend. Good apartment-sized dog that is chock full of energy.
Whatever breed you decide on, it would be great if you got it either from your local SPCA or animal shelter or Petfinder.com. There are tons of great dogs of all sizes who need rescuing from death row and placed into a good, loving home. Good luck.

active, energetic, loyal.....try a dachshund, cocker spaniel, or a schnauzer. Al would be very good watch dogs as well. Although a dachshund would like to think it's a guard dog, fearless.

when I first started out I had a Lab retriever mix. He was short and stocky and weighed in at a nice 60pds. He was active with me with all my activities, and also knew when to be quite and relax. He was very obedient, and protective when need be. he was the perfect dog for me.

Papillons are great. They are small, very smart, and they love to go for walks. They are very loyal. A friend has one, and he is the best friend anybody could want.
Corgis are nice, too, but they sometimes tend to bite. Papillons are extremely good natured.

A Brittiany Spaniel would be good. They have good temperments. train well, are in your size requirements, and enjoy outdoor activities.

I think a Sheltie, a miniature poodle, a shih Tzu.These do require grooming; however.
