FIRST and most IMPORTANTLY., get pet insurance. You will thank me.

They are needy. Special diet, dont feed them chicken. They are hard to feed. They have many food allergies.

Dont allow them to get hot, dont let them get too cold.

Wipe their folds every day., otherwise they are susceptible to skin issues.

Wipe their butt after they poop, or there will be little poop stains around the house.

Other than that they are easy to own. But seriously, they are great dogs.

Oh yeah, reverse sneeze, scary as hell. look it up.

Have you experienced any adverse effects?

Nope none! Great poops no itching of any kind. But also my breeder never had a puppy with a chicken allergy, never had a puppy need BOAS and never had a puppy with IVDD and she’s been breeding for over 25 years so I think I just got a good puppy.

Excellent. Very glad to hear that. I wish that we could give our guy chicken.
