These little dog's are very responsive to their owner's and want nothing more in the world than to please. They are outstandingly obedient and excel as agility dog's and ranked among the top on the list in all competitions. Intelligent and with the keen sense to be compassionate to human emotions make them one of the finest breeds to have in your life.
They have an instinctual affection towards children and when raised with a child they will be their forever shadow and loyal protector.
As a house pet the are the best as they housebreak very early and very easily. They like to be clean and will clean and groom themselves like a cat. They do require occasional grooming to keep their coat free from dirt and mats that will develop behind the ears and to keep the hair in check when they do shed approx. once a year when they have been spayed or neutered. Weekly brushing not only keeps them cleaner and makes the coat shiny but it is also a special bonding time for you and your friend.
