Wondering?????

Question

i'm currently looking at apartments that will except pets. But i found out that most apartments here in greeley colorado will only except small dogsn i'm not a fan of small dogs. But if i were to get one which one should i chose and why?? If i did chose it would be a miniture pincher.

Answer 1

I don't understand why some apartment communities won't accept large dogs. They should have a "pet interview" upon being accepted to the community. Small dogs (if they are not trained correctly can do more damage as a larg dog.

To help you find a new home and make your search a little easier... Go to:

and you can enter your criteria and you will have a list of communities that will take all size pets.

Good luck

Answer 2

Miniture Pinchers are really, really hyper. You would go crazy and he would be unhappy. Look at getting a bulldog (specifically English). Although they are expensive, you can get bulldog mixes or do a bulldog rescue. They have a little dog's build, but a big dog's personality. Perfect for apartment living because they require little to no exercise, so you don't need a yard for running. Good luck...

Answer 3

Would suggest a small dog for an appartment.Also one that isn't known as a rowdy type.The Yorkshire Terrier,Brussel Griffon,or Maltese make wonderful little pets for appartment dwellings.They're sorta a kickback little pet and never make a sound unless a stranger approaches.All are very intelligent with the Brussel Griffon being at the top of the list.Excellent pets in every way.

Answer 4

We picked a Beagle. He's a love! They are by nature a loving, social dog, but also a bit hyper. They also prefer an enclosed area to sleep - they can't run around loose all day in your apartment. Their own 'empty' room, or a very large kennel is best. They are also not the type of dog that can be ever 'off a leash' in public, as they tend to follow their nose.

Despite those restrictions, we wouldn't trade him for the world!

Answer 5

I was a cat person before my husband pointed to this little white fluff in a pet shop and said that we needed that dog. My husband has Alzheimer. I just did not know why he decided on a dog let alone a small white fur ball. It turned out my biggest blessing, my best company, my big love. It is a Maltese, most people are not allergic to them as their hair is like human hair and does not shed. He is not a barker, neither is he a good watch dog for he loves everybody including cats. He was crate trained in 2 months (completely) sleeps at night in his crate where he feels secure. I am now a dog lover and would not ever want to be without him.

Answer 6

If you don't like small dogs, I don't think a min pin would be a good choice, in my experience they tend to be the very essence of small dog, which is both good and bad, but probably wouldn't appeal to you. If you like big but need small, a standard size dachshund might be perfect. The standards are kind of big, but they should pass small dog apartment standards, and have the calm sort of large dog personality in many cases. If you want a dog that thinks its big, but wrapped up in a small package, all of the small terriers could be great. Norwich are my breed, and they certainly fit the bill, but Carins, westies, and many others could be great "big" dogs. Also, Boston terriers and french bulldogs very often have that attitude, but with a calmer demeanor.

Answer 7

jsut for the fact that larger dogs would be too much confinded in a tiny appartment . A mini pincher sounds good . But how a bout a jack russel terrier they are about midsize

Answer 8

Mini Dachshunds have wonderful personalities and are a great small dog for an apartment.'

Answer 9

if i was foresed to get a small dog than it would be a small rat terrier but they can be a pane so you would have to trane it. oh by the way i found a apartment in greely colorado and it accepted all size dogs but good luck.

Answer 10

I have had a little dog for 17 years and I love her. She is a Lasa. But above all, beyong the breed, be sure you are completely ready for and happy about the responsibility. These little creatures need affection, stability and trust. They need your care. I know you will be there for your puppy and I hope you both are really happy together.
