Actually I don't think that's untrue. It doesn't say that working dogs can do without a job and so on. It just says that dogs can do well in a small apartment if they get the exercise they need and that is true.

I live in a small, one bedroom, apartment and I have a Jack Russell and at the moment I'm fostering a Border Collie mix as well.. I also had a German Shepherd mix a couple of years ago (died at the age of 13). They do fine because they get their required amount of physical exercise and mental stimulation.

A dog will just as easy feel cramped up in a big house with a yard as he will in an apartment, especially if the yard is the only place he ever gets to go to experience the “outside world”.
