I have a one bed apartment on the second fall. Having a large balcony and a cat (I know), I work from 7;30 - 15;00 and have lunch at a time where I could walk the pauppy as I work five mins from home. I don't want a Massive dog but I'd like a small but masculine type pouch. I have loads of enegry and have no worries about walking him/her at any time in the morn or night. Pitballs and staffs are not an option. Thanks

I think a Beagle would be a good dog, or maybe a bull dog. Or if you really want to get trendy, go for a Puggle. They're adorable, and they can operate ok in small spaces.

You shouldn't really be getting a dog if its going to be left all day Apart from 1 hour. Definitely dont get a Jack Russell or Collie as these need lots of stimulation and exercise. If you are adamant get a toy breed (small peoples dogs bred for this kind of thing NOT plastic ones) which is less likely to destroy your flat through boredom.

I think that if you want a masculine dog that you can keep in the house you should get a shi tuz poodle mix. They are very pretty and very protective. i used to have one for 5 years he would not let anyone near me when i was sleeping and if anyone hit me he would attack them. When i was pregnant with my daughter i had a lot of complications and every time that i would start having contractions he would go get my husband up and then come lay on my stomach whining. sometimes even before i started felling them. i personally think they are more protective then pits, rotts, or any of the other bigger dogs. they are very loving too.

I own a Miniature Schnauzer ... She gets along GREAT with our cat ... I take her out for a walk 3x a day ... (2x short walk and 1x long walk) ... In between she just goes outside to do her business and comes back in ... When the weather is nice on the weekends, I take her to the dog park to run free without the leash ... I've heard one of my friend has a small dog they train them to use the paper in the apartment ...

i have a miniature beagle and he is the best dog ever. he's very wel behaved and loves to walk. and they are VERY friendly and don't bark that often.

Miniature Pinscher. It's masculine and it's small. We have one and i like looking at my Uncle and our dog when they take walks. Anyway, I think that will be perfect for you. I don't know if it will be perfect for the cat though. LOL
