Gentle handling matters

A little more about this dog

Prepare gentle handling, daily company and regular coat upkeep. Shared walks and learning can be enjoyable even when the dog has a very small build.

Think ahead: Small build needs careful handling, and the mix name cannot promise a coat suitable for someone with allergies.

What a mixed background can tell you

These are selected named crosses, not every possible combination. Names are informal, and ancestry should be confirmed. Ask about the individual dog’s actual size, coat, routine and personality.
