While I don't think that apartment (or in my case townhouse) living is ideal for every breed of dog, it works out great for me and my dog.

I have friends with fenced backyards that have GSD, huskies, border collies, terriers, etc. My dog gets more exercise than any of them. Aloso, b/c I have to walk Cassie 2-3 times a day, she has better manners than a lot of dogs that aren't.
