The Hungarian Pumi
You may think your dog is just the cutest little guy, but this newly introduced dog breed is about to give your best bud a run for their money. The Hungarian Pumi Club of America describes the breed as "an active dog, combining the biddability and intelligence of the herding dog.
They usually grow to a medium size so they will need regular exercise if they live in a small apartment.
Senior Dogs
When looking to adopt a dog, instead of looking for a newborn pup, how about making a home for a senior dog? Most of the older dogs in the shelters get overlooked because people prefer puppies, which is a pity because older dogs have their benefits too!
They'll stay their current size, they have passed their hyperactive pup years, and they just waiting for someone to love. So consider adopting a senior dog if you have a smaller apartment.
