Care tips
- Needs 2+ hours of exercise daily and a job for the brain: training, scent work or a sport.
- Daily brushing keeps the silky coat tangle-free; trim around the eyes and paws.
- 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: kneecap (patella) check.
- 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.
