3. Greyhound

If you want a big dog that is also low-maintenance and not that expensive, you might have a hard time finding your perfect match. But don’t surrender to your quest this quickly, and hear us out: A greyhound is everything that you need! And if you want the most cost-effective alternative, adopt a former racing greyhound.

These athletic sprinters have one of the chillest tempers out there. It is true that they love a good run and they need it in their lives, but they will never say no to a lazy weekend spent laying on the couch. This makes them a breed that is perfect for apartment living. Bonus points for being a breed that usually doesn’t bark.

If you decide to get a Greyhound, we have some great news for you. They are pretty healthy, and you won’t have to spend a fortune on vet bills. But they are predisposed to bloating, so be careful about that. Also, due to their short hair, they don’t need much grooming.
