Exercise Needs

Requires at least 60 minutes of daily exercise. This intelligent breed thrives on both physical activity like brisk walks or swimming and mental stimulation through training, puzzles, and dog sports.

Grooming & Care

The non-shedding, curly coat requires professional grooming every 4-6 weeks and daily brushing to prevent mats. Regular ear cleaning is essential due to floppy ears. Feed a high-quality diet appropriate for their activity level.
