Care tips
- Needs 2+ hours of exercise daily and a job for the brain: training, scent work or a sport.
- Hand-strip or trim every 2–3 months and comb the beard after meals, ask Bumba how that went.
- A fast learner that gets bored fast: puzzle toys and short training sessions every day.
- Ask the breeder for: 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.
