Many people really want a pet, but don't know which dog is best. This article will highlight five breeds that are the least hassle for their owners.
Yorkshire Terrier
Yorkshire Terriers are characterized by high intelligence, and they skillfully use this quality to their advantage in order to get what they want.
These dogs were bred in Britain and subsequently gained popularity worldwide. Their small size (no more than 23 cm tall) and weight (maximum 3 kg), along with their good nature and sociability, make them an ideal fit for almost any family.
Furthermore, the Yorkshire Terrier does not shed, making it safe for people with allergies or asthma. The only drawback is the need for regular grooming (washing, clipping, and brushing).
Chihuahua
Chihuahuas have a number of advantages and benefits over other miniature dogs: good health, high intelligence, sociability and a docile nature.
Another ideal choice for a living space is the Chihuahua. They come in both short- and long-haired varieties, but are distinguished by their small size (up to 22 cm) and light weight (up to 2.5 kg). Chihuahuas are quite "suspicious" of strangers and have a characteristic loud voice.
Toy Terrier
Toy terriers are agile and hardy, and are distinguished by their devotion to their owner.
The maximum height of a Toy Terrier is 26 cm, and the maximum weight is 2.6 kg. They are quite easy to groom, but you will need to trim their nails regularly, and clean their eyes, ears, and teeth. They also need to be brushed occasionally. An important point is the need for walking. However, in some cases, it is possible to train a dog to use a litter box.
Pug
Pugs like to keep everything that happens in the house under control and react to any, even minor, noise.
One of the cutest breeds is the pug. It's slightly larger than the breeds described above, reaching up to 36 cm in height and weighing up to 10 kg. However, it offers a wealth of advantages: these dogs are easy to communicate with, extremely intelligent, and invariably have a good disposition. The key is to spend time with them periodically and play with them.
Dachshund
The dachshund is a reasonable dog that remains calm in any situation.
Another interesting and common option is the dachshund. This breed was developed in Germany and is divided into three types: miniature (weight up to 5 kg), rabbit (weight under 4 kg), and standard (weight under 12 kg).
The dogs themselves are very friendly and courageous, but you need to take into account the volume of their barking: your pet will need to be trained to behave properly.
In reality, there are many more dog breeds suitable for keeping in your apartment or house, so don't narrow your options too much. Five of the most common and interesting breeds have been highlighted above. The choice is entirely yours.
