Care tips
- Needs 2+ hours of exercise daily and a job for the brain: training, scent work or a sport.
- Brush 2–3 times a week, daily during the spring and autumn shed. Never shave a double coat.
- Small mouths need dental care: brush teeth a few times a week.
- Teach a calm 'quiet' cue early, this one likes to talk.
- Ask the breeder for: back/spine check, hip x-rays, eye examination.
- Food safety, from Bumba: keep the batch number of every bag. If your dog suddenly can't stand or walk, go to the vet the same hour.
General guidance, not veterinary advice. Your vet knows your dog best.
