Watching them dance around with their hair flying around them looks both graceful and hypnotic.They are also incredibly loving, but they do require a bit more attention since they are so smart. Habits like barking can become a problem if you do not train them - however, if you do a bit of training, they don’t bark that much. Given their size, training is pretty easy since they can easily sit in your lap and just enjoy petting and listening to the chatter. They can be incredibly energetic as well, but it is also easy to help them work off that energy through moderate exercise. Walking with them daily and playing inside will be more than enough to make them a nearly perfect dog for any home!
