It can, if it gets enough scent work and activity. It is calm indoors, but it is a working tracker and can be frustrated in a home without a purpose.
Not usually. It is a fairly quiet dog, tracking silently and giving voice mainly when it needs to signal.
It is best with someone who understands scent hounds and can give it a job, such as tracking or trail training. It is sensitive and needs patient, kind handling.
