Many people dream of a four-legged friend, but choosing a dog breed can be too difficult, especially when living in an apartment. UAportal has prepared the top 5 breeds that are not adapted to living in a confined space.

German shepherd dog

German Shepherds are known for their impressive size and high energy level, which makes them unsuitable for living in compact living quarters such as apartments. Needing ample space for movement and exercise, they have a need for activity and mental stimulation.

Dalmatian

Dalmatians are known for their athleticism and need for regular exercise. Their high energy levels and tendency to be active make them unsuitable for keeping in an apartment, as they feel best in open spaces. If not provided with sufficient mental and physical stimulation, Dalmatians are at risk of developing anxiety and destructive behavior.

Boxer

Boxers' loud and playful nature requires sufficient space to release energy, which is impossible to provide in most apartments. Their large size and muscular build are not conducive to keeping them in an apartment, as they need constant physical activity for normal development.
