Prone to disc problems - do not
let him become overweight or jump from
heights. They are also subject to genetic
eye diseases and skin problems.
From Dori, Florida My dog is definitely a lap dog. She is smart and energetic. She is eager to
please us but loves to chase lizards and bark at cats and deer outside our
fence. She understands "out" "cookie"
"lie down" "no". I love her.
