Best-matched service
Around two hours a day, with off-lead running when safe. Without it, they become restless, noisy and destructive indoors.
It is not ideal. They do best in homes with a garden and owners who commit to daily long outings and training.
Usually friendly and playful with children, though their size and bounce need supervision. Their prey drive means small pets and cats may not be safe.
