- I AM NOT INTERESTED IN SMALL DOGS- I live in a medium/large sized apartment- I have a park next door- I have more than two hours to excersize- I have a cat- I am gone during late moring and midday

What about grooming?? do you want a short haired dog, long haired, indifferent?? Some breeds are great for appartments,a nd amazingly enough, the larger breeds do great! For instance, greyhounds are great apartment dogs, and quite the couch potatoe! As well as Borzois, Danes, St. Bernards, Rottweilers ect...As long as they are able to get out and burn energy daily, they do just fine! I would suggest taking a look at your local shelter or on Petfinder.com: Adopt a pet and help an animal shelter rescue a puppy or kitten. you can find many breeds available, that are suited for you lifestyle!

I personally like terriers for apartment living, had one in a small apartment for years, and had loads of fun!

Especially Danes, they dont require as much excersise as say a Border Collie. they love to be couch potatoes, and do well on just a couple hours of excersise!

boxers......they are awesome dogs.....smart, excellent with kids. I dont think i will ever have another dog. Be careful of cardiomyopathy and hip dysplasia, etc. By any pure breed dog from a reputable breeder, not a pet store in a mall.

I would recomend a rottweiller. These dogs don't mind their owner being gone, love to exercise, are not hyperactive, and are not excessive barkers. A great dog for an apartment. They also can protect your apartment from any burgulars.
