These dogs are not just smart, affectionate and playful but can make amazing watchdogs too. But, there are just two things you need to keep in mind. One, keep them away from water as they are bad swimmers. And two, you need to bathe them twice a week. If you ever find any cuts on their body immediately recover it using an antiseptic liquid. Feed them more Omega 3 than in dog food to assist with the higher washing needs keeping the skin hydrated.
- Maltese Terrier: These dogs are another type of terrier which is quite intelligent, playful and extremely gentle. Maltese terrier dogs are said to be royal dogs as they were mostly owned by royal families and refined women belonging to the 1800s era. You need to train them on a regular basis and set boundaries as well so that they don't act stubborn and dominate the house. To keep them clean, you can wash them just once a week. However, you need to clean their tears and saliva regularly to prevent staining on their white coat.
