a puppy in an apartment,is this possible?

If you are moving to an apartment I suggest you not get a dog. An apartment is no place to put a dog. There is so much that you have to do with dogs. Taking them out to go to the bathroom and they need a space to run around. In a tiny apartment like that there is no way that dog would be too happy living there. If you want any sort of pet I suggest you get fish or a cat. Something that can easily live in an apartment. Most cats are indoor cats so hopefully you get one that likes being inside.

i think it would be hard enough to keep pet at the apartment, coz it will bother your neighbourhood, and i think the management won't allowed it, i'm really sorry for this :-( but you may ask the management first before keep a dog in your apartments, who know they allow you ^_^

There are dogs - small and mini - that do okay in apartments. But if you're thinking about getting a puppy, you do need to have the time to help him/her learn about going outside. Depending on the dog, that can take a while. I know. We got duped into taking a puppy off the hands of my hubby's ex (and their 11 year old daughter). He was 10 months old when we got him and not house trained at all. Now he's almost a year old and we're still having difficulty with that. But you could easily find a small dog that is already trained and not too old. If you find a breed that you like, you can check the internet to see if there are any rescue shelters just for that breed. Or you could check with a shelter near you and see if your heart mealts over any there.

Hi and Welcome to MyLot!!! When we were first married, my hubby and I lived in a two bedroom apartment. We had a puppy at that time. We made sure and got a bottom level apartment so it wouldn't be too far to take the puppy outside. It was indeed workable. And the puppy is now the brown dog in the middle of the photo of my avatar and she looks great to me! We live in Illinois in the US and it does snow alot here in the winter. You just have to be able to commit totally to thinking of the puppy first. The first thing you'll have to do when you get up in the morning is let the puppy out so be prepared. Same thing as the last thing at night. You need to walk the dog on a leash and not just take it out to the closest piece of grass and let it do it's thing. It will need the exercise. Be sure and really think about it alot before you get a puppy. It's alot of responsibility and the puppy will need a lot more care living in an apartment. It isn't always easy. Try to get a smaller dog from a Humane Society or shelter so that you can save a life in addition to acquiring a new pet. Good luck! [i]Happy MyLotting, Char[/i]

There are dogs that will thrive in an apartment, as long you provide the love and attention they need, as well as regular outdoor (or even indoor) exercise. You will want a breed that is a bit less active, and you'll also want something on the smaller side. You can go to virtually any search engine and find the top dog breeds, as well as their personalities and how active the breed typically is. You could also try your local shelter - those pets need a good home, they do frequently have young dogs as well, and the staff can tell you whether or not the dog would do well in an apartment.

We moved from a townhome in warmer climate to a 2 bdrm apt in a very cold climate. my dog adjusted very well. She is a boxer/lab/pit bull mix and has always been a happy dog no matter where we were just because we show her the love attention she needs. most but not all dogs love snow and if they are intoduced to snow young they will find it fun to play in for the rest of their lives. i wouldnt go buy a mastiff though. i would stay with a smaller dog because you are only in a small apt. i would make sure it comes from the shelter, those animals seem more apreciative of their owner. feed it walk it keep shots up to date heartgaurd and flea stuff nails clipped...thats about it. hope you find a special one, cyndi
