An elegant, athletic hunter with a blushing nose

Its ears and nose turn a rosy colour when it is happy or excited. It is a well-known and harmless trait of the breed.
Only with care. The chase instinct is strong, so a dog raised with a cat may cope, but small animals outside the home are at risk.
About 75 minutes a day, including a safe place to run at full speed. Without it, they can become restless and destructive indoors.
