Care Tips for Poitevins

1

Exercise Needs: Ensure your Poitevin receives plenty of daily exercise, such as long walks, runs, or play sessions in a secure area, to satisfy its high energy levels and prevent boredom.

2

Socialization and Training: Regularly socialize your Poitevin with other dogs and people from a young age, and employ consistent, positive reinforcement training to manage its independent and sometimes stubborn nature.

3

Grooming and Health Checks: Maintain a regular grooming routine by brushing its coat weekly to manage shedding, and schedule routine veterinary check-ups to monitor and maintain its overall health.
