Pets in Apartment.

I kept a shih tzu once in a local apartment, and I did found out that its not legal to keep a pet in local (Malaysia) aprtment. Unless no body made any fuss, otherwise the resident committee has full right to ask you to get ride of the pet.

The most common problems are cleaniness and noise issue. Even for shih tzu, when they grow up, one will never know if they do bark when the owners are not around. Dog do bark for owners during thunder storm or suspected of intruder. Its part and parcel of being a dog anyway.

So I can say that you are taking your own risk by bringing in the dog into any aprtment or condo. It can be very noisy when a dog bark within the same structural building, or inside the air well of the building itself.

If you ask me, I would say don't do it. If you still have a choice.
