What is the best dog breed for me?

I would say just pick one. For your allergies though, I have a few suggestions. You will have to keep your house clean, vacuum, dust, ect. At least once a week! A lot of people are not aware that the allergies you may have could just be the act of your dog/cat rubbing up against bushes and laying in the gr outside and than bringing things into the house. For someone with allergies, the dog needs to be bathed approx. once a week to keep your allergies from acting up. Whatever breed you choice. You will need to make sure you exercise it daily in order to keep them active so they don't keep themselves busy messing up the apartment while you are gone.
