White Bellied Caique

The White Bellied Caique is a small dog, energetic, typically living 20–30 years. Central India runs hot and dry for much of the year, and that shapes the first twelve months with this breed more than anything in the breed standard does.

Health work is completed before listing, and the records travel with the dog.

Caring for a White Bellied Caique in central India

• Heat: shade and water are not optional here. Move activity to the early morning from March onward.
• Paws: check between the pads after every walk; this is where problems start and get missed.
• Training: loose-lead walking and reliable recall, both set in the first three months.
• Nails: trimmed before you can hear them on hard flooring.
• Checks: an annual vet visit booked before the hot months, not during them.
