Their compact size and moderate exercise needs can make them suitable for apartment living. They still need daily walks, play, attention, and appropriate mental stimulation.
They can be sensitive to heat because of their short muzzle. During warm weather, they should have access to a cool environment and should avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day.
They are intelligent but can sometimes be independent or easily distracted. Short, positive, reward-based sessions can make training more enjoyable and effective.
Their short coat is relatively easy to maintain and usually needs regular brushing rather than extensive grooming. Skin folds, ears, nails, and dental hygiene also deserve regular attention.
They can be affectionate and playful family companions when properly socialized. Young children should always be supervised and taught to handle the dog gently and respectfully.
