If you are thinking of adopting a dog of this breed you should be aware that you will need to spend a lot of time on them. This dog will absorb all the training you give them like a sponge.

  • Choose a short name that allows clear pronunciation - two syllables are enough.
  • Names that include the vowel "i" are especially indicated.
  • Avoid using names that may confuse you with other people or commands.
