Best-matched service
Around two hours a day for a healthy adult, including proper off-lead running and mental work. Less than that often leads to restlessness indoors.
Only for a very active household that can meet its considerable exercise needs every single day. Most do better with a garden and outdoor space.
Usually, yes. It is friendly and playful, though the energy and bounce of young dogs can overwhelm very small children.
