Temperament:

These are sociable dogs which will rarely cause any problems in company of other dogs. They are also fine with children. One of these dogs will certainly warn you of any strangers visiting. Introduce them when they are young to cats and other household animals. They hold their grounds with strangers.


Coat:

The smooth-coat is hard to the touch. The colours usually range from red to yellow with a black saddle, or a black mantle with a white blaze, collar, chest and more white markings on the feet and tip of the tail. The undercoat is light-coloured. There is supposed to be a flesh-coloured patch on the nose as this is one of the breed points.

Training:

Training this breed is not too difficult. They grasp quickly what is required of them but they must never be drilled since this ruins their friendly nature. With patience, love, and understanding, plus a consistent approach, the handler can achieve a lot.
