COAT: The short-haired coat can be a black roan
or black with white markings. The preference is for the roan.

REQUIRED: These dogs do not require much grooming. Run a smooth
glove or brush across the coat. Keep the ears clean and the claws trimmed. Attend to the facial creases
occasionally with a special lotion made for this purpose.
CHARACTER:
These are intelligent, enthusiastic, occasionally boisterous dogs, that have a sense of humor, are playful, self-confident,
and affectionate. They make good watchdogs without barking unnecessarily.

ensures they pick things up quickly. They are very sensitive to the intonation of your voice.

also with children

for long walks but does like to go everywhere you go. They are fairly lightweight and often can easily
be carried. No question about it...they love to play.
