The American Kennel Club says they need only 30 minutes of exercise daily. You really don’t have to overwork their tiny legs.
They could eat pork, chicken, eggs, potatoes, fish beef and oats.
They only need to be bathed once a month. If you do it too often, you’ll dry out their skin. You could wait longer than a month if you can keep them indoors only.
Just like every other dog, yes. They would love it when they are petted at the back of the neck, at the base of their tail and under their chin.

You should never feed your dog any of these, bacon, chocolate, milk, cheese, dairy products, onions, garlic, alcohol, caffeine, grapes, etc.
