Best-matched service
More than most toy breeds - around an hour a day. They love to run and play, and burn off energy quickly if given the chance.
They are alert and will announce visitors and unusual sounds. Consistent training from puppyhood keeps it under control in apartment living.
Better with older, respectful children than toddlers. They are small and spirited, so supervise interactions and teach children to handle them gently.
