If you’re a condo dweller adopting for the first-time it would be wise to start with a good apartment dog who’s personality is more laid-back than one who is highly sensitive and high maintenance on the grooming scale. First-time owners should also be aware that while all dogs need some level of exercise, the working dog breeds demand a much higher level of activity then say a French Bulldog or Havanese.
