Hello everyone,
So here's what i'm looking for--- a mid-sized (on the smaller end of mid-sized) dog that will be athletic enough to catch frisbees, etc.
I will be renting a room in a house that is relatively large; but I will not have a yard for the dog. Instead the dog will have a flapping door leaving my room and ability to wonder the basement. Is this suitable for a dog? Or is it cruel to have a dog without a yard? I will live right near a dog park and plan to exercise it daily.
Does anyone have any suggestions on particular breeds which are small enough to live without a yard, but athletic enough to catch frisbees, etc? The dogs I was looking into were boxers and huskies; I have no idea, whatsoever, though, whether they are good "frisbee catchers", or if they could live in a relatively enclosed space.
Thank you all for your suggestions!
