They're loyal and devoted to family, social with proper socialization, determined and persistent, and entertaining and comedic in their daily antics. Training benefits from their intelligence, though patience helps navigate their independent thinking and strong personalities. Daily walks of 25 to 40 minutes satisfy their exercise requirements while providing mental stimulation. Their compact size suits Columbia apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes equally well.
