Small dogs tend to have more dental problems.
It is a good idea to brush your dog's teeth daily to keep their mouths healthy and their breath sweet. I use a chicken flavored toothpaste for dogs which mine actually enjoy now. Not only are Manchesters wonderful companions, but they also do well in many canine sports. Many Manchesters love to compete in the show ring, in the agility ring or playing flyball. They can do well in obedience, but their sense of humor and mischievousness can keep them from earning high scores.
