1 of 5

Space and neighbors shape which breeds settle in happily.

What size feels right?

Think about lifting, furniture, and sidewalk space — not just cuteness.

How active is daily life at home?

Match the dog’s engine to your real weekday — not your ideal weekend.

Mostly calm Short walks and cozier evenings Moderately active Daily walks plus play Very active Runs, hikes, or serious play Flexible Energy can go either way

How much shedding can you live with?
