Very high - it can clear fences of around two metres or more, sometimes from a standstill. Secure, tall fencing is essential for any garden.
Usually yes, as it is playful and affectionate, though it can be bouncy. It is best with older children who respect its sensitive nature.
It can be calm indoors if it gets plenty of daily exercise, but it needs space and secure outdoor running. A house with a tall-fenced garden suits it better.
