Traits and characteristics.
I would like to start with characteristics that are more important for a pet. They are:
- Child-friendly or not.
- Affectionate.
- Intelligence.
- Energy and the will to play.

This dog breed is not recommended for kids.
Affectionate (or not)
"3/10"
They are known to be indifferent but will show some affection from time to time.
Intelligence
"1/10"
I believe all dogs are intelligent. But this one is just one of the slower to learn new tricks.
Energy and the will to play
"3/10"
These are low energy dogs that will probably get tired after 15 min of play time. Or a walk around the street.

These are traits that are usually more important for people living in small spaces:
