With seniors, Terriers seem to be a popular choice. The West Highland Terrier is one of the popular ones since it has a nice temperament and is a good lap dog.
Not to mention, this breed is suited for apartment living and only needs an hour of exercise every day. Despite having a soft fur coat, you won’t need to do too much grooming.
Poodle
Poodles are very popular among pensioners, and for a good reason! It's one of the smartest dog breeds out there. You can have endless fun teaching them new tricks. And Poodles naturally have a loving and tender nature.
If you suffer from fur allergies, you're in for luck, because these lovable dogs are allergy-friendly.
Italian Greyhound
The Italian Greyhound or 'Iggies' is the purest form of the Greyhound. It's energetic, slender and muscular. The Greyhound's accentuated curved back gives it a royal appearance.
The Greyhound is the largest dog on our list, and despite being known as swift racing hounds, ironically it's also the laziest breed. It'll be happy to just relax on the couch for most of the day. Perhaps you can adopt one from a track near you!
Biewer
You may be just discovering this unique breed, and you'll be happy you did. The Biewer is a relatively small dog, well, one of the smallest in fact, but its heart is huge.
Biewers are known for being very affectionate, clever, and playful. Despite its thick mane, it actually doesn't shed much. If taken good care of, it typically lives up to 14 years, so you'll have many years to spend together.
Pomeranian
If you’re looking for an affectionate and active dog, a Pomeranian could be a perfect fit for you! Their small size makes them great in small spaces like apartments, and even though it's fluffy, it hardly sheds, but you should brush it often.
And you’ll have no trouble training a Pomerraninan because it's very intelligent.
