For those who consider themselves to be “dog people”,
apartment hunting can be pretty terrible. You want that companionship so badly,
but landlord after landlord tells you that they have a no dog policy. What are
you supposed to do? Keep looking. While they are few and far between, there are
plenty of quality apartment complexes that allow renters to have a small to
medium-sized dog, and we know the perfect pup to fit the bill.
According to
VetStreet.com,
miniature and toy poodles are among 13 dog breeds that are most ideal for
apartment living. Being so small, these two particular types of poodles do very
well in smaller spaces, not needing much room to get the exercise that they
need. Additionally, as an extremely intelligent breed in general, poodles are
easy to train, so you don’t have to worry too much about your pet making a mess
or having accidents indoors as much as you might with another breed.
Another great advantage to living in a smaller space with
a
miniature or
toy poodle is the fact that you won’t be overtaken by a coating of dog hair
on every surface. In a smaller space, a build-up of dog hair can become much
more noticeable as compared to what you might experience in a larger home. Fortunately
for apartment dwellers, the poodle breed does not shred. However, you should
still make regular trips to the groomers for a trim to maintain the good health
of your pet’s fur, making the act of dealing with your poodle’s coat both maintenance-
and stress-free.

toy-sized poodle home to your apartment, please feel free to contact

than happy to answer any questions you may have about this particular breed.
