1. Yorkshire Terrier
At around 7 pounds, this extra-small
wonder makes the list not only because he
takes up little space but also because he is
not a barker. He is also friendly with people
and other pets and very adaptable to new
experiences.
2. Maltese
The slightly larger Maltese (around 9
pounds) has a silky coat with no undercoat
that sheds very little, making cleaning in a
small space easier. He is also a quiet dog
who mostly wants to be where his owner is,
earning him a solid spot on this roundup.
3. Boston Terrier
At 12 to 18 pounds, this breed is also very
attached to his owner, which means he
doesn't mind being indoors in a small
space as long as his owner is attentive. He
is also an easily trainable dog.
4. French Bulldog
A smallish dog (around 20 pounds) with
the traits of a larger dog. He is calm
and quiet, often relaxing on the most
comfortable seat in the place. His practical
demeanor makes him suitable for any living
space.
5. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
This is one of the friendliest breeds, making
it easy to deal with other tenants and
their dogs. At 13 to 18 pounds, the Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel is also calm and very
adaptable.
6. English Bulldog
This is the larger cousin of the French
Bulldog who weighs 49 to 55 pounds, a
stable dog who is comfortable in small
spaces. Indeed, most seem to prefer the
couch to the dog park.
