2 . Bichon Frise
Rarely growing over a foot in height and weighing in at just 15 pounds, the Bichon Frise is a dog seemingly designed for city living. While they need little space, they don't like being left alone for more than a few hours - something that needs to be taken into consideration. Photo: Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales
3 . Havanese
Named after Cuba's capital city, the Havanese are born to live in the city. They only need moderate exercise and are otherwise happy to just explore your home. They're also not big barkers, but shouldn't be left alone for more than 3-4 hours. Photo: Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales

Seven in ten Gen Z always carry the same thing with them when they leave the house
Seven in ten Gen Z always carry the same thing with them when they leave the house A recent study has discovered that seven out of ten Gen Z won't leave the house without this essential 'accessory' Carrying a water bottle saves buying bottles when out and about (Image: Getty Images ) Gen Z's latest accessory, is none other than a trusty water bottle. Recent studies have discovered that 70 percent of Generation Z habitually carry a water bottle with them whenever they step outside, with more than half regarding it as an essential 'accessory'. While the average person owns two different drinking bottles, one in five Gen Z individuals possess four or more, allocating different ones to different settings such as the office, gym, and beside their bed. When selecting a bottle, Gen Z prioritise pattern and design, sustainability considerations, and brand reputation, with many prepared to shell out nearly £20 for a bottle from their preferred brands. Majority of Gen Z don't leave the house without this accessory (Image: Getty Images ) Michael McAuley, speaking on behalf of Culligan UK – the company behind the study and a provider of drinking water solutions – commented: "If you look around when out and about, it's rare to see someone without a reusable bottle. "The choice of water bottles is endless in terms of size and design and youngsters see it as a way of reflecting part of their personality and making their lives easier." Article continues below Aside from being considered a trendy item, other motivations for consistently carrying a water bottle include sustainability and overall health. Over half of those who set a daily water intake goal believe that having a bottle on hand. Are you someone who refuses to leave the house without your cherished water bottle, or are you prone to be reminded to stay hydrated? Take this quiz to find out. The average person spends £16.70 on a water bottle, with a third believing it will save them money over time as they won't have to buy water while out. However, a quarter are concerned about the scarcity of refill stations in their area and as a result have resorted to buying something in cafés just so they can ask staff to refill their bottles. Michael added: "If there's nowhere to refill them the purpose of carrying a bottle around to stay hydrated is ruined, and with the weather only getting warmer it's important to have water to hand." Article continues below A spokesperson for Culligan UK commented: "The research shows people are calling out for more places to top up their water bottle. Resorting to spending money on things in cafes to have theirs refilled defeats the object of saving in the long run with a reusable one. "Youngsters seem to care about sustainability as well, suggesting why they own many bottles rather than buying plastic ones when out and about."

Gabby Logan admits 'it hasn't really hit me' as she opens up on major family change Gabby Logan has reflected on a major family change after welcoming her husband and former rugby star Kenny Logan onto a recent episode of her Mid Point podcast Gabby Logan has opened up about a major family change (Image: ) Renowned presenter Gabby Logan has opened up about a major family change, recently admitting that "it hasn't really hit me." Last year, the new Match of the Day presenter shared her emotions as she revealed she was struggling to prepare for the reality of having an "empty nest" for the first time, with her daughter, Lois, soon set to depart for Loughborough University. Meanwhile, her twin brother, Reuben, had already left home a year earlier and is eager to follow in his dad's footsteps, having embarked on a rugby career with the Northampton Saints in 2023 before recently moving to Sale Sharks. Opening up about the emotional shift in her life during an episode of her Mid Point podcast last August, Gabby shared how she expected to feel the impact of Lois's impending move away from home. Explaining how her daughter's departure felt different from her son's, she said she was likely to go weeks without seeing Lois — unlike Reuben, who had still been able to return home every weekend. Gabby's son, Reuben, looks to be following in his dad's footsteps (Image: FRANK CORNFIELD ) Nearly a year on, Gabby has invited her husband, Kenny, back onto the podcast to discuss the changes in their lives over the past year. However, despite previously saying she expected to see much less of her daughter after she moved to university, Gabby said: "He's (Reuben) now been gone for two years, and Lois has now had a year at university. I don't feel like she's been away." Article continues below She added: "I feel like we're so busy, and she's been in and out all the time, that it hasn't really hit me at all — the kind of empty nest yet." Gabby and Kenny have been married since 2000 (Image: Getty Images ) Gabby also reflected on how her son's career and her own are soon set to cross paths, following the recent announcement of his move to Sale Sharks, based in Greater Manchester. It coincides with her own upcoming role on Match of the Day, after it was confirmed earlier this year that she will be joining Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates as a presenter on the show from August, based at its Salford studio. It was announced earlier this year that Gabby will be joining the Match of the Day presenting team from next season (Image: Visionhaus/Getty Images ) Before landing the Match of the Day role, Gabby was already one of the most recognised faces in sports broadcasting, having been part of the presenting teams for major events including the 2012 London Olympics, European Championships, World Cups, and Champions League finals. Article continues below However, many also know her for her hugely successful Mid Point podcast, which has featured high-profile guests including Sir Chris Hoy, Claudia Winkleman, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Gabby is set to return to our screens later today (Image: PA ) Gabby will return to our screens tonight at 7 p.m. as she hosts BBC One's coverage of the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 game between Switzerland and Norway.
