00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.440
So when I'm looking at a person living in a

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:14.279
small apartment in an apartment complex, you need to choose

3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.480
a breed that can be really facile, probably smaller statute,

4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.399
energy levels that are moderate because you don't have a

5
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:29.199
lot of room to exercise them and to take care

6
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.520
of them. This is an important part of it. I mean,

7
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:43.280
you know, certain breeds like Belgian melon laws, border colleagues,

8
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:52.039
they're hurting animals, even hunting animals, German short hairs, they

9
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.719
all require fairly high amounts of exercise. They're an active breed.

10
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:04.799
And then you're take the you know, other breeds that

11
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:10.640
are just more docile, they might be more suitable. And

12
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.680
of course they will tell you by their behavior. I know,

13
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.560
growing up, all I used to hear is I want

14
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.239
to have a big farm, or I want to have

15
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.159
a farm anchorage so that my dog. I want to

16
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.359
get a Saint Bernard, I want to get a great

17
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.319
day a big dog. And we're under the misconception that

18
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.359
they need a lot of space. Truth of the matter is,

19
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.359
is you open the door and you let them out

20
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.760
without you going out, They're not doing anything. You're wandering

21
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.840
around because we have this misconception that they need a

22
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:53.239
lot of space, and yet Mom, save your money on

23
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.040
the size of the lot, the size of the yard

24
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.439
you're going to get and get me good food and
