hi, i have a 2year old MS and she is a pleasure. generally they are very intelligent dogs but tend to be fiesty, hyper and can be barky cos they are good watchdogs. this means they are alert to sounds and strangers and will bark (their way of communicating with you). quite easy to house train, mine does on paper, so that's easy. but you would have to start training when you bring the puppy home. grooming can be about every two months, if you are not particular. i groom mine every 6 weeks or so cos i find she gets hot and tends to scratch when her hair grows. generally good health but with skin problem, they get what they call schaunzer bumps and it's hereditary with the breed. it's not a big problem, rarely become serious. if well trained, can be a pleasure to have as companion. mine can tell me when she wants to drink, eat, pee and poo! hope you find this hopeful.
