Best-matched service
Yes, they are loyal, playful and sturdy, and often devoted to their family. Supervise interactions with young children.
Often not with unfamiliar dogs, especially of the same sex. Early and careful socialisation, and lead walks, help a great deal.
Very little, since the wiry coat holds dead hair until it is stripped. Regular brushing and stripping keep it healthy.
