"This is my dog Lucky at 10 months old. He is a Phu Quoc Ridgeback dog. He was born in August 2009. He flew here from Vietnam when he was 6 months old. Lucky is very intelligent; he was potty trained only 2 days after we got him. We taught him a few basic commands like sit, shake, wait, and he got them very fast. We are going to enroll him in a training class to make him smarter =) He likes the outdoors where he can chase after the squirrels and rabbits. I take him hiking a few times a week so he can run freely off-leash. When running free, he tends to hop like a deer."

The Phu Quoc Dog will do okay in an apartment as long as it gets enough exercise. It is relatively inactive indoors and does best with a large yard.
This breed should get plenty of exercise, including a daily, long walk.
The Phu Quoc Dog does not need a lot of grooming. An occasional combing and brushing to remove the dead hair will do.
About 4 to 6 puppies
The smooth, shorthaired coat is easy to groom. Brush with a firm bristle brush and shampoo only when necessary. This breed is an average shedder.
