You are not going to enjoy either of those breeds if you don't want a super-high energy dog. Both of those breeds are going to be extremely energetic.

A decent Frenchie will set you back at least $700-1000. They can be a bit nippy and food aggressive. My mom has one and one of the vets we work with has two of them.

Bostons are considerably cheaper. However, they can be VERY protective and VERY aggressive to others. I personally like the breed. But, I do so knowing how
they can be.

I think if you want a great apartment dog that isn't an ankle biter you should consider an ENGLISH bulldog. Not a French, not an American, not an Olde English Bulldogge, just a plain English bulldog. They are also quite expensive, but they're great.

They were bred to bite the heck out of a bull's snout, so you can count on them enjoying a good roughhousing playtime. Chewing is likely as a puppy, but no more so than most other breeds. They usually do not cuddle. But, they can be awesome babies. My mom has two EB's and I love them both dearly.
