🧠 Temperament
Confident, loyal and very people-focused, with the same goofy streak as other bully breeds. Strong-willed but highly food-motivated and responsive to reward-based training.
🎾 Exercise
High — 60+ minutes daily plus mental work.
✂️ Grooming
Minimal. Short coat, occasional brushing, needs a coat in winter.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Frequently caught by building breed restrictions. Check your lease. Otherwise a clean, adaptable and affectionate city dog.
