Just make sure you don't live too high. I know a person who kept a Jindo and Golden Retriever in her small apartment successfully. :) As long as you give it enough exercise and enough time to play outdoors, you’ll be fine.

He is a very good dog, very lovable. but i live in a house so it may be different in an apartment. but the only thing that he does that would go over well in an apartment is that he barks when he 'needs' or 'wants' something but he is quite otherwise. I think he thinks he is a lap dog Lol. o the only other thing is that at least my Dalmatian gets into the trash A LOT but i don't think the likeliness of that is going to change from a house to an apartment... that is just a rumor that Dalmatians are mean tempered. depending upon the amount of spots a Dalmatian has they may be deaf. the more spots the least likely chance. the only reason they would be 'tempered' is if they are deaf and u come up behind them. i have a Dalmatian.

Imagine having to carry a puppy downstairs in the morning, they cannot wait for a pee until you are dressed. If its an older dog it may want a pee during the night. Dogs are noisy and your neighbours may object. They sometimes destroy furniture or pee on the carpets. Landlords object to this and you could be evicted, what would happen to your dog then???

Also, a lot of them are somewhat mean-tempered. I would not suggest it. Dalmations are fairly large dogs. Also, a lot of them are somewhat mean-tempered. I would not suggest it.

ADD: also just keep in mind that you might be living in a complex that allows large dogs now, but i've found it fairly hard to find a place that does allow large dogs. most people will say you can’t own a large dog in an apartment, but i completely disagree. although there are SOME people who cannot handle that, others are perfectly capable.
