Best-matched service
Around 90 minutes a day, split between walks, off-lead running in a safe area and games. Without enough activity it can become destructive.
It can be demanding. The breed is intelligent and energetic and needs consistent training, so it suits active owners who can commit time.
They enjoy playful, respectful children, but their high prey drive means cats and small pets are risky. Same-sex dogs can also clash.
