West Highland Terrier
When it comes to seniors, Terriers seem to be a popular choice, among them the West Highland Terrier. The breed has a nice temperament and is a good lap dog. To top it off, this breed is suited for apartment living and only needs one hour of exercise a day. Despite the soft fur coat, you won’t have to do too much grooming, just normal brushing.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
For centuries, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has been a royalty favorite, and today, they’re still adorable little lap dogs. They typically don’t grow to be over 18 lbs and they can adapt to most living situations easily. You just need to bathe them once a week and brush them carefully to keep their soft fur healthy.
