CHILIER

Care

Exercise

The Chilier is reasonably active and requires moderate exercise regularly. Its size makes it suitable for apartment living as indoor games provide the dog with sufficient stimulation. A couple of walks every day and frequent visits to a dog park will help it stay fit and socialize. One thing to note about these dogs is that they sneeze when they get excited.

Grooming

Chilier puppies require moderate grooming, making it a good choice for first-time owners. Brush its coat two or three times a week to preserve the natural oils of the skin. Bathe it using dog shampoo only when it is extremely dirty and has a strong smell. Clip its long nails with a nail clipper when they overgrow or visit a professional groomer. Moreover, regularly clean its eyes and ears to prevent infections. Lastly, brushing its teeth twice a week will prevent tartar buildup and keep oral health free from germs.

Health Problems

Inherited health complications include patellar luxation, heart problems, hypoglycemia, hip dysplasia, and shivering, among others. Look for health clearances from the dog’s parents and consider the breeding environment before purchasing.

Training

Training the Chilier can be difficult owing to its stubborn attitude. It needs a consistent and firm leader for guidance. The owner must be patient and should not resort to negative methods as they can be detrimental. Teach the necessary obedience and socialization skills at an early age to avoid problems.

Feeding

High-quality dry dog food can be fed to the Chilier. The amount is half to one cup, although it may vary depending on its size, age, and metabolism.
