Interesting Exercise, if anyone wants to take part. List what you think are the 3 Best Characteristics of the breed and the 3 Things that are weakest things that need improvement. Persons/personalities/breeding ethics do NOT count! While they can and do impact the breed, this exercise is about the breed alone.

Here are my thoughts:

 

Top 3:

1. Uniqueness (there really is not another breed like this)

2. Coat/Color/Maintenance (beautiful animal who is so remarkably easy to keep clean - on all levels)

3. Intelligence and Loyalty

 

Bottom 3:

1. lack of uniform type

2. variance of temperaments

3. health problems (DS, skin conditions, HD)
