These lion-like dogs are both loving and love-able. They are well suited to colder climates so can live outside in a kennel, but they can also sleep indoors on a dog bed as they are usually happy just being wherever you are. Because they are prone to bloating, they should have raised food and water bowls which helps them to digest their food. The regular use of a drag comb, especially in the undercoat, helps to keep their coat in good nick.
