Maintenance


Their short coat hair sheds regularly and this increase at the time of spring and winter. Daily brushing of your dog is advised and also regular vacuuming of the house in order to remove the hair being shed from the coat. Frequent bathing is not advised as it would lead to skin problems and it is advised to use a mild dog shmapoo. The ears need to be checked for infections, and it is recommended to brush their teeth at least twice a week to avoid dental problems. It is advised to clip their nails as and when necessary.

Ideal Environment


Taking the genes from their Miniature Pinscher parent, Muggins have a high energy level. They need to be exercised for at least an hour daily. This can be divided into two to three sessions as they need at least two walks in a day, accompanied with playing indoor and outdoor. They also love going to the dog park so that is something which can also be added in their routine. One must keep a close watch on them, because if you notice behavioral issues, then it means they need more activity time. Another reason to keep them on daily exercises and activity is that they tend to be overweight, so a regular exercise and activity time would ensure they remain healthy. Special care to be taken during extreme climatic conditions.
