Life is nearby
Described as good-natured, but requires a lot of exercise and usually lives in large packs in rural areas. Adapting to city and family life is difficult. Because of the strong hunting instinct, free running without a fence is risky.
Walks
The need for movement is very high: long runs and sniffing work are required every day. Free running only in a fenced area. Puppies and older dogs are dosed together with a veterinarian.
Training
Good-natured, but independent: sense of smell prevails over commands. Olfactory games, patience and valuable treats work. Calling is practiced on a long leash from an early age.
Care
The short double coat is combed once a week, more often during shedding. After walks, ears, skin and paws are examined, claws are trimmed, and teeth are regularly brushed.
Children
Kind to people, but big and strong. An adult monitors the contact, and the rules of a calm game are explained to the child.
Other animals
He lives peacefully with the dogs he grew up with. The attitude towards cats and small animals is evaluated separately, and introductions are conducted under control.
