Temperament and daily life

Affectionate, clownish companions that bond closely with their people. They are not endurance athletes and tire quickly, but still enjoy short walks and play.

Health to keep an eye on

Flat-faced (brachycephalic) dogs commonly have breathing difficulty, heat intolerance, skin-fold and eye problems and sometimes back issues. Avoid heat and strenuous exercise and watch their weight.

Coat and grooming

Short, easy coat. Clean and dry the skin folds regularly.

Best suited to

Owners in a cool climate or with air conditioning who accept higher potential veterinary needs.

General tendencies only: every animal is an individual. Health notes are not a diagnosis; ask your vet about your own pet.

Care notes

Brachycephalic: extreme care with heat and intense exercise.

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.
