| Description |
This gentle, intelligent do makes
a great family pet. They are good with children and other dogs, but do
best when introduced to them when they are young. Might see other small
pets as prey. Tends to be low-key when they are hanging out with their
family. However, if they are tracking a scent or hunting with you, they
are very energetic. When they are working, they are all business. Makes
an excellent watchdog or the family. Loves to be inside and around people,
but also needs plenty of time to exercise and play outdoors. Since they
are tracking dogs, it is best to keep them on a leash if you are going
for a walk. If they catch and interesting scent, they are ready to go. |
