| Description |
This affectionate, intelligent
breed is a people pleaser. They are meant as a companion dog and do best
when they are not left alone for long periods of time. They do best when
they are socialized with children and other pets and dogs at a young age.
They need plenty of exercise and space to run and play. They love to chase
things, including other animals, so it is recommended that they are in
a fenced in yard or on a leash when going for walks. |
| Health |
Problems with blood platelet issues,
Syringomyelia, eye problems, hip and elbow dysplasia and heart problems. |
