This is one breed of dog that does best with a good well fenced outside area for additional exercise. It will not only benefit the dog but will give you a break when they are acting especially lively indoors, be sure there are no escape routes in your garden and have high fences they are, great jumpers.
It was rumoured they were called in as consultants by the Colditz escape committee, for these hunters still have a strong prey drive and the necessary digging skills to go after any interesting animal that’s passing by.
They will happily live with other animals such as cats as long as the other animals where in the home first and the puppy is introduced to them correctly, cat’s generally need no introduction the dog knows it bounds after the first swipe of the cats paw.
