This breed is very affectionate. Even though they are very warm-bodied they love to snuggle under the covers. They love their people and anyone else who gives them attention.They need to be groomed on a regular basis- a warm bath and clean ears are a must!They get a waxy build up in their ears and this can be cleaned very gently with ear cleaner and Q-tips.
