Excuse me for a moment while I vent... I am so tired of hearing people saying "dogs need a fenced yard" or "you can't have a large dog in a condo; it's mean". Let me give all of those people a piece of my mind: I want to scream every time I hear someone say those things! IGNORANCE! You know the reason some people say that? It's because they think that they can just put the dog "out in the yard" and the dog will run around all day... they don't! They turn into ones like my neighbors have, barking and growling and jumping up on the fence everytime I am WALKING my dog to the park. Yes, we may live in a condo, but our pets probably get more attention than most children do! (Really, I pay more attention to my animals than my co-worker does with her "hairless" child). Just because a dog (of any size) has a fenced yard doesn't mean they are getting enough exercise mentally or physically. I personally think that most pet owners who don't have a fenced yard are more aware of the need for exercise for their furry friend. So look at your own situation before you judge. And if you have, or are looking to have, a dog in an apartment, condo, somewhere without a fenced yard please make sure they get out for a couple long walks, go to the park, and just roll around on the floor with them!
