Care tips
- Two calm walks a day plus some sniffing games keep it happy.
- Brush once a week; bathe only when it really needs it.
- Small mouths need dental care: brush teeth a few times a week.
- Short nose: avoid heat and hard exercise on warm days, and keep it slim, breathing comes first.
- Ask the breeder for: breathing (BOAS) grading, 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.
