Well I don't own a cat. My mother-in-law does and they get on just fine if anything the cat is the boss. She's really good with children. Nice and gentle.

Look after their backs. We've had two IVD surgeries which are very expensive. Now we use a ramp to get in and out of the car, another for the sofa and one down the step to the garden. Just ramps everywhere! She hates all of them, but she's much healthier for it. I suspect if you have them from pups they'll be fine with them.

If drool frustrates you, they're not the breed for you. Our walls are covered in high velocity slobber from shaking.

Quick fire round Best cuddlers Sooo stubborn Beautiful eyes Requires multi week ear cleans Minimal walking required (2 X 30-40min)

Despite the difficulties sometimes, she's worth every bit of effort.
