Oh Souraya, look no further I have the perfect dog for your Mom. No surprise, a Mini Schnauzer. They do well in apartment living, they absolutely do not shed, Daisy is black and sleeps with us and there is never a hair in the bed, that's the honest truth, most Schnauzers are between 12 and 14 inches tall, they are hardy, like to play,
intelligent, the only drawback is that they should be brushed at least every other day and they do have to be groomed about every six weeks. There are many Schnauzer rescues, most don't have puppies but older dogs that are usually house trained. They don't eat much, we feed ours a 1/4 can of food in the a.m. and 1/2 cup dry food in the afternoon.
