Activity: These are active little dogs, who need a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, it will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off lead, such as a large fenced in yard.
Living Environment: The Biewer can live in an apartment if it gets enough exercise. They are fairly active indoors and will do okay without a yard.
