You manage a local dog shelter, and today you’re working with a first-time dog owner who wants to adopt their very first pet! They’re excited but uncertain about which furry friend will be the best fit for their lifestyle.
The adopter is looking for a small dog that can adapt well to apartment living, does not bark excessively, is friendly with strangers, and is a good match for novice owners.
Your challenge is to guide them in making the right choice by recommending the top three dog breeds based on these criteria. The provided datasets contain all the information you need, with each criterion ranked from 1 (low/not good) to 5 (high/excellent).
Hint: Keep in mind which attributes should be scored low and which should be scored high.
