Are Vizslas Good Apartment Dogs?
If you can keep your Vizsla occupied and exercised, then they just might be a good Urban Dog for you.

Maud Earl at the Museum of the Dog
Maud Earl's works were displayed at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and the Paris Salon. Her clients included prominent dog-fanciers, notable sportsmen, and royalty: Queen Victoria herself commissioned Earl to paint one of her dogs. This was a hugely significant achievement for a woman in the 19th century.
Are Samoyeds Good Apartment Dogs?
There are a few things that strike you immediately when you see a Samoyed: their amazing coats, those coal-black eyes, their size, and the signature “Sammy Smile.”
Preventing Dog Bites
A dog that bites can be a serious problem. Living in the close quarters of a city like New York, you need to make sure that you do everything you can to prevent a bite. Any dog can bite: large or small, male or female, young or old. Even the friendliest dog can bite if it’s provoked. And take note: it’s NOT a dog’s breed that is a predictor or whether it will bite or not.
