Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best dog for an apartment?
Lower-energy and quieter breeds such as French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Bichon Frises tend to adapt well, though every dog still needs daily walks.
Which breeds shed the least?
Poodles, Bichon Frises, Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers and Shih Tzus are popular low-shedding choices, though they need regular grooming.
Should I choose a breed or adopt a mixed-breed dog?
Both are wonderful. Mixed-breed dogs from shelters often combine health and personality advantages — use the same lifestyle questions when meeting any dog, and ask shelters for the dog's known energy and history.
