    Notable facts

    The 'Satin' sheen is caused by a smaller hair diameter that allows light to reflect uniquely off the inner pith.

    Breeding recommendations
    • Sleek coat requires minimal brushing but benefits from a soft-bristle brush during molting.
    • High-quality fiber diet maintains signature gloss.
    • Small breed (1.4–2.0 kg) adapts to compact housing but needs daily exercise.
    • Sweet and calm — excellent for novice pet owners.
    • Show-focused only.
