This active, outgoing, fun loving breed is famed as a fast and smart working dog. Loyal, warm natured and happy they also make loyal companions. Great with kids, as well as cuddly and affectionate, they are also fantastic family dogs, but due to their energy are better with older children. A home with a garden really is a must.
They are considered one of the easier breeds to train, being instinctively smart, eager to listen and like mental stimulation and games. They need 2 hours or more of exercise a day, with half of this being intensive, and are ideal hiking dogs. This breed has minimal grooming needs. A typical lifespan is 12-16 years.
