Commonly associated with heart conditions, some cancers, heat sensitivity and, in deep-chested dogs, bloat. Regular check-ups matter.
Coat and grooming
Short coat, easy to groom.
Best suited to
Active families who like a lively dog and can manage heat.
General tendencies only: every animal is an individual. Health notes are not a diagnosis; ask your vet about your own pet.

PatiTools estimates for a healthy adult in ideal condition at the breed's typical weight range, normal activity and neutered, using about 3.6 kcal per gram of dry food. Your pet may need more or less: ask your vet.
General guidance, not a clinical standard: we found no veterinary guideline that sets exact minutes. Adjust to your pet's fitness, age and health, and follow your vet's advice.
