For those of us who just love the canine species, choosing just the right one to be our treasured companion can cause a little difficulty. For the dog that better suits houses or apartments, there are several that have become popular. Below are the top ten favorites for house dogs.
Top 10 most common and loved dogs
10. Yorkshire Terrier – This little bundle of fun, although full of nervous energy, doesn’t mind being at home all day. A quick walk around the block is enough to keep it happy.
9. Toy Manchester Terrier – This one just loves being around the family only. It likes the occasional run around outdoors but can’t stand the cold.
8. Chinese Crested – This dog just loves the family and other dogs too. The hairless variety will need some help if out in the cold.
7. Shih Tzu – Definitely not an outdoor dog, this one loves the ‘lap’ life and is a great companion.
6. Lhasa Apso - Fiercely independent, this dog is both stubborn and bold. Not for the outdoor life for sure.
5. Boston Terrier – This dog does not like the heat too much. Although well mannered, it can be a bit playful at times. Needs a walk outdoors every day and can tend to bark quite a bit.
4. Bull Dog – A very mellow character indeed! Needs a walk every day but can’t stand humid conditions.
3. English Toy Spaniel – Loves a leisurely life! Not so active but will give the owner all the love that they need. Not much exercise required.
2. Bassett Hound – Very easy going character. Although it must have a daily walk, this dog would much rather relax than exercise!
1. Pekingese – Doesn’t really need exercise outdoors but will enjoy it. Definitely does not take heat well so an air conditioned home may be necessary. Great for apartment living.
