A Sloughi needs moderate space at home, with the emphasis on a calm, comfortable indoor life balanced by regular access to a secure field or large enclosed area for full-speed running.

A Schipperke needs only modest indoor space, and this small black spitz-type dog has a long history of living on barges and in compact homes, but it does need a home secured like a much more adventurous dog. Curious, bold, and an able climber and escaper, a Schipperke will test gates, gaps, and open doors, so a flat…
A Russian Toy needs minimal space and suits apartment living beautifully, since even the larger of these fine-boned toy dogs is small enough to play, train, and rest comfortably in a single room.

A Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen needs a moderate amount of indoor space, but the real requirement is secure outdoor access, because this low, rough-coated scent hound follows its nose and digs and climbs better than its short legs suggest. A house with a well-fenced garden suits the breed far better than a flat with…
A Peruvian Inca Orchid needs surprisingly little indoor space, especially in its smaller sizes, and a calm apartment or house suits this quiet, cat-like sighthound well.
