Best-matched service
Yes, it is compact and calm indoors, though it can bark at noises. Avoid apartments with many stairs to protect its back.
Very little. The mix of soft and crisp hair needs regular brushing and tidying to avoid tangles, especially on the topknot.
Generally yes with respectful older children, as they are affectionate but do not like rough handling. Supervise young kids.
