I believe a Shiba Inu is a wonderful choice! If you want a large breed but need a small breed due to tight living quarters, Shiba Inus are a great breed for you. Shiba Inus act like big dogs as they have a high activity level, but only take up the space of a small to mid-size dog. That said, this breed will fit happily in your apartment, but they need regular, vigorous exercise. If you already live an active lifestyle, a Shiba Inu gives you the best of both worlds. https://www.petcoach.co/article/8-great-dog-breeds-if-you-live-in-an-apartment/
