Caring in Malaysia
- Its sleek, short coat suits Malaysia's heat well, but keep it indoors with fans or aircon, as it lacks thick fur to buffer strong sun and humidity.
- Grooming is easy: wipe or brush the fine short coat weekly to remove oil and loose hair, and keep ears clean to prevent waxy build-up in the humidity.
- This breed is prone to dental issues and some genetic heart conditions; watch for bad breath, drooling, reduced appetite, or sudden lethargic spells and see a vet promptly.
