Smooth Jafox Activity Requirements

The Smooth Jafox is a breed of dog known for its distinctive coat and easygoing personality. While they are not a very active dog, they do need regular exercise to maintain their overall health.

This easy-going, low-maintenance pup is happy to be your loyal friend, but they are not the type of dog that needs constant attention.
