Pastimes
I have had him since he was able to part ways with mom. Overly friendly dog. Gets along with EVERYONE. He doesn’t know a stranger. But everyone also loves him. Very cuddly when I don’t feel well.
Sco-Shi Breed Maintenance
Because the Sco-Shi will likely have long hair, one can expect a good bit of maintenance. Brush him two or three times a week to remove excess hair and prevent matting. During the spring and fall, you may want to brush him daily to prevent excess hair from landing on your clothing and furniture. Brush his teeth two or three times a week to prevent buildup of tartar and bad breath. If you wish to prevent tooth decay, brush his teeth daily. Trim his nails twice a month unless he wears them down on his own. A good rule of thumb is if you can hear his nails clicking on the tile floor, it is time to trim his nails. His ears may need special attention. As you brush him, check his ears. Wipe them out with a damp cotton ball to remove excess dirt. Check for redness or a foul odor as this is indicative of a possible ear infection. You may also need to trim the hair around his eyes so that he doesn't have an obstruction to his vision.
