The American dog (definite introduction)
Due to the cheerful personality, loyalty, kindness, and small size of the beautiful dog, it has attracted the attention of the majority of pet lovers. As a small ornamental dog, the beauty of the dog cannot only be seen in its exquisite appearance. Physically, when encountering emergencies, Zhuomei will also show her majesty to protect herself and her master, and sometimes act coquettishly. The American dog needs regular maintenance and is not suitable for people who live a life without free time and are overtired. Gorgeous coat requires not only frequent trimming, but also careful grooming every day.
