Best-matched service
Around 100 minutes a day for a healthy adult, with off-lead running when it is safe, plus scent games or training.
Generally yes, especially when raised with them. It is loyal and playful, though its size and exuberance require supervision around small children.
It is intelligent but independent and slow to mature. Patient, consistent, reward-based training works far better than pressure.
