Best dog breed for the 'outdoors'? (For new dog owner too)

[Asherah]

I personally love german shepherds, but you will run into issues with breed restrictions for apartments. At least in my area of Denver no apartments will rent to someone with a GSD.

I've had some similar issues but generally if the owner meets her they have no problems. Being upfront with the owner and opening conversation with them is a big step to getting an apartment. Persistence is key really.
