This is a gear grinder for me. I used to have a Bernese Mountain Dog with an ex of mine.
Big dog. 110 lbs or so (was a female so a bit smaller). We lived in a condo that was about 1300 sq ft.
People would constantly remark "how could you keep such a big dog in a condo!?"
WTF does it matter to you?
Bernese are one of the laziest breeds available. That dog got pack walked every afternoon for 3 hours and you could barely get her outside at night as she was wiped. We also walked her every morning and twice at night.
I've looked after a few of my friends small dogs - "good condo dogs" - and F that. Those dogs were so damn hyper i couldnt play them out.
also most of the people commenting on it lived in a house with a big dog. You think that dog is capitalizing on that extra 1000-1200 sq ft? Does that dog just love the four bedrooms?
Their idea of giving a dog exercise was letting it out to the backyard to pee. Here you go Roofus, go run in circles out here alone.
