Which breed of dog should I get? I've just moved into a new apartment, and there's a couple of rooms, and we have access to a local park, but don't want to go on big walks.

I'd recommend one of the smaller breeds, like a Yorkshire Terrier or a Cairn Terrier.  They're great for apartment life and in and out of the car.  Here are some pictures:

Okay. And what about diet, do they eat a lot?
user
Well, Yorkies are small but still need a decent amount of food.  Terriers do tend to be a little more picky, though.  Here's a chart that shows you some typical average food intake of dog breeds.

I'm thinking about getting a Yorkshire Terrier. Are they okay around children?
user
They're really adaptable, and don't usually mind kids.

Great. If I buy a puppy, will I need to get the dog microchipped?
