Yes, they have a deep, loud bay meant to carry over long distances. It is not ideal for close neighbours or apartments.
Generally yes. They are affable and patient, though their size and enthusiasm mean supervision around small children.
They are intelligent but independent and led by scent. Positive, patient training and secure containment work better than expecting reliable off-lead recall.
