Best-matched service
Very little, which suits many allergy sufferers. Loose hair tends to stay in the coat, so brushing is essential to stop mats.
Yes, it is eager to please and food-motivated, and it loves learning tricks. Short, positive sessions work best.
Only for short periods. It is very attached to people, so long absences can lead to distress, and gradual training or a sitter can help.
