Miniature Schnauzer
For seniors who like to keep themselves busy and active, the Miniature Schnauzer is well-suited. As an owner of a Miniature Schnauzer, they are sweet and gentle dogs that need many exercises, and you will have to keep up with their activity and have you do some exercise. Also, to ensure that their coats are always healthy and clean, expect some routine grooming.
Schipperke
A Schipperke is perfect for an active senior looking for a furry partner with the same vibe. Similar to a fox, they are lively and playful. Moreover, some of the many qualities they have that will win your hearts are their inquisitive nature and confident streak. You’re going to spend a long time with this lovable breed if you get a Schipperke, as they can live up to 15 years. This breed grows to about 12-18 lbs and makes an apartment a good size—as long as they can have enough room to roam in.
