History

Personality and Behavior

• He's friendly and reliable
• He's boisterous
• He has a tendency to wander-off after interesting smells
• He bays, instead of barks, and can be very loud

Training

• He's fairly easy to train. He learns commands at an average rate.

Shedding

• He sheds quite a bit of hair. You'll find some hair stuck to your clothes, couch and carpets.

Grooming / Maintenance

• His medium-length coat only needs to be brushed occasionally. However, because it sheds you may find yourself brushing it once a week, or more, to minimize the hair in your home (what you remove with a brush doesn't end up on the couch!).
