juice Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 How long is a “short” walk ? Living in an apartment it might need a bit more exercise than that unless they get an elderly dog ? Most small breeds are pretty busy dogs . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pjrt Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 2 breeds come to my mind are Iggy and Crestie. No breed will tick all the boxes so they need to put their most important wants at the top of the list and be prepared to compromise on some lesser wants. I’d add wire coated Griffon but of course they’re brachy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellnme Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 How long would the dog be alone in the apartment every day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very long as my sister and partner work different hours. Got to exercise details: they live across from a park and said exercise would be 30 mins+ evening walk but also outings throughout the day as her partner is home during the day. they’re okay for mature dogs (4-5 years) but nothing that’s too old or has health complications that prevent daily walkies and weekend wanderings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Italian Greyhounds are prone to heat stress and don't often make good single dog pets. I've got one on the GC looking for a home but cannot go without another dog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Kisses Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) They need a mentally well version of Malcolm. - he has go go go as well as chill factor: up for runs/adventures (when younger) and loves his doona days. He would take whatever you gave. 8km run? He was there! Week spent in bed? Right on it! - loves warm weather, zero qualms with heat. - I react to some dogs despite not being allergic (tested!), but I don’t react to him. I think it’s mostly people who have big shedding dogs but don’t vacuum enough or air the house so there’s a huge dust mite burden, and/or the dog stinks either because they’re never washed or they’re washed or spritzed with perfumed products.

Rozzie Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 My daughter and family adopted a dog through SEQ K9 rescue Inc. They worked well with her to ensure the right fit for them all. Jax is now living his best life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
