Originally posted by SeitseOK but just so you know, dogs are like people, sometimes they wake up a 2AM and have to go, and sometimes they have to go quick. You also will be making that elevator trip a lot more often than you like during the day. Don't get them outside soon enough or often as they need and they'll be using your carpet as a toilet.
Just as the millions of dog owners in London, Paris,
New York and Tokyo do.
...
See, kids? This is what happens when an American
farmer sticks his nose in matters such as life in big
cities.
My guess is that'd be no problem for you.

O.k., so after this comic relief, anybody has recommendations
on dog breeds which are small and also responsive to training?
I like Bulldogs but they don't rank high in obedience, which is
a major setback. Collies are of my liking and they seem to be
famous for their intelligence, but they require lots of exercise
and it feels quite cruel to have them locked while we're at
the office.

it should go something like this - get dog.. get another dog... gf/wife/life partner/live in whore/dog walker gets pregnant... gets rid of the last dog... has baby... can't find new home for first dog so brings up baby with a dog around, secretly wishing it would roll over and die to give you some rest.

So, the time is approaching for my family to grow and, since I don't
want to change diapers nor bother passengers in airplanes as Rags'
kids do, a dog is the winning pick.
Not only he won't ask for money every Sunday nor demand some
fancy college, but he will have the courtesy of dying at the age of
15 or 17, leaving me with sadness but a fairly less Intelligence_of_Dogs
Poodles, though, are far from my cup of tea. Any recommendations?
Sometimes he seemed to nap a lot, so we named him 'Rip' (after Rip Van Winkle).

Despite their small size, these dogs are not recommended for
the condominium or apartment dweller unless the owner is ready
to take on the daunting task of providing the dog with the
necessary amount of exercise and stimulation
No, thanks.

Don't you have crosses to burn or something?
Go trim your mullet, bitter old man. Find a way
of being useful to society, for a change, I mean.
Get a cat. Getting a dog in your circumstances is retarded and cruel.

love dogs, Inglewood would be a nicer place. Instead, you ran like a girl.
How old are you, anyway? 60? You should be more worried about the
vultures flying around you than about dogs. Of course, I forgot that you've
never been outside the farm so you haven't seen people with pets in the
big cities.
Go trim your mullet, seriously.
