The breed is very contact-seeking and often super friendly. This especially comes to show towards children, as it can risk knocking them over with pure enthusiasm. It is a dog that will happily participate actively in the family's life and follow you around the house. You will most often see this dog very close to the family where it can follow what is happening. It can sometimes tend to bark, including when excited. It requires a lot of physical exercise, but also mental challenges such as looking for treats in the grass. The breed is very social and it requires a family that likes to be with its dog. To create a good relationship with other dogs, it is a good idea to start a puppy training team, so that the dog gets established social ties to other dogs. The breed is originally a cattle and sheepdog. It was widely used in the south of England where it was a hardy guard and defense dog for herds of animals, including cattle. In addition, it had the task of driving the animals to fields and markets. It was known to be a little sharp, which is why it is mostly used for cattle. In the late 1800s, the breed was bred exclusively for company as a family dog. It still has the strength and instincts to be included as a shepherd dog, but the sharpness has been replaced by kindness and joy today. Males grow up to 61 cm tall, while females grow to about 56 cm. In terms of weight, they weigh 29-31 kg.
The young dogs are active and very willing to work, but they are also very playful and therefore it is a good idea to train with the dog so you can get it to calm down. The adult dog adapts completely to the level of activity found in the family. The dog wants to be close to its people, and then adjusts.
The weekly fur care is important for the breed. You will need a comb to brush your dog's fur once or twice a week. The breed does not shed that much.
The breed is very easy to train and socialize, both with other dogs and with humans. It is important to teach the dog to be brushed from when it is a puppy, as it is very important to keep its fur nice and clean, and it is easiest to introduce it to fur care at a young age. You must have a positive and calm approach to the training with the dog, and create a collaboration with the dog through mutual respect and trust.
