They were eager to please, loving, easy to train and unbeatable as a family pet, if that's what you're thinking of. I decided to have a flat coat this time and he's now almost 6. I had him neutered at a year old as flat ties are prone to cancer and I believe neutering takes away the chances of him getting a few different types, but obviously not all. This week I found he has a degenerative bone disease and I don't know if this is something else they're prone to. As far as personality and behaviour is concerned, he's a good lad and I love him to bits, but he's definition been harder to train and he's very stubborn. On the whole, I would definitely recommend goodies.
