Guard Dogs That Don’t Shed
GREAT APARTMENT DOG?
OK, I’m trying to find a dog that would be good in an apartment. I would be willing to do all the necessary grooming/walking.
I’m looking for:
-A quiet dog
-Lazy indoors
-I don’t care about shedding
-I don’t need it to guard or perform any work
The dogs I’m considering:
-Pembroke Welsh Corgi
-English Mastiff
-Basset Hound
-Greyhound
-Malamute (not sure it would be alright; I live in New England)
I’m hoping someone can tell me a little about these dogs or how they would do. I will give ten points to the person who responds comprehensively without plagiarizing something off Google, but rather who speaks from actual experience.
An english mastiff or greyhound would NOT be good apartment dogs. A mastiff is way to large for an apartment life, isn’t lazy indoors and won’t be to quiet. A greyhound needs lots of exercise. A Malamute isn’t a good choice either. The shedding isn’t an issue for you but they need mental stimulation and a lot of exercise so wouldn’t be “lazy” either.
The only ones out of your picks are the Corgi or Basset Hound. A basset will be lazy, but not really quiet. A Corgi will be quieter, still shed a bit, definitely not a guard dog (unless trained) and is relatively lazy indoors. Still needs exercise daily though. 
I’d go with the Corgi.
