Yes, it is usually affectionate, robust and happy with children and other dogs. It suits an active household that enjoys long walks.
Not a lot. Weekly brushing of the harsh coat and an occasional tidy-up are enough, with regular ear and paw checks.
Only in enclosed areas. The hunting instinct is strong and recall fades quickly once it picks up an interesting scent.
