GroomingLow–moderate depending on coat type
Care notes
- Prioritise recall and enrichment; terrier drive is strong.
- Supervise around smaller pets unless carefully introduced.
- Watch weight — compact dogs still need measured meals.
Discuss knee, eye and dental care with your vet. Individual dogs vary widely.
