Preparing the home in Pattukkottai

With independent houses common, there is usually room for a medium-sized breed to exercise at home.

Brush regularly — humidity makes mats and tangles form faster in longer coats.

Feeding and daily routine

Brush regularly — humidity makes mats and tangles form faster in longer coats.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoid choosing on looks alone, overestimating how much exercise the household can realistically provide, and rushing a diet change.
