i have a yorkie and when i first got him i lived in a 350 sq. ft studio. he was fine though. i moved the furniture in the room so there was kind of like a dog run from the front door, down the hallway to a chair where i would sit and through his ball back and forth. you will have to move furniture around to get the right traffic patterns. he got a lot of exercise by doing this and i was able to get away with walking him only twice a day. yorkies are great dogs. i highly recommend them. i also highly recommend having 2 dogs though. it changed things completely for me. they are the best of friends and he always has someone to play with when i need to get my school work done. i don’t feel as guilty.

If you plan to have an animal and you live in a small place you need to make sure that you give your animal the amount of exercise it needs or else you will create behavior issues that are unwanted. Especially living in an apartment where your neighbors will be hearing and seeing everything. Just because a dog is little does not mean it does not need the same amount of exercise as a big breed. They actually have more pent up anxiety issues because of the lack of exercise people give smaller breeds. I have a pug and he is worse than my two weimaraners. Good luck and I hope that you help your new friend live a balanced life.
Yes, either would be good. Maybe the Havanese due to less likely to bark??
