You can always see if anyone local to you needs dog-walking help, and use it as a test run.
We've ended up with a full time Irish setter due to the owner shielding during lockdown, who we originally met via borrowmydoggy and had been walking weekly for a few years.
I'm not tied to a breed at all, but a large dog would be inappropriate for the size of the flat and my current weekend habit of driving out of the city and going for an 5-8 mile walk in the country is better suited to a medium dog that isn't excessively docile.
