It is whenever ready to defend the owner and its property.

It is hardy, virtually tireless, fast, tough and hardy, but it is primarily by a body and soul athlete. It is used at the races at the track and in the field, by far the most successful at longer distances. It excels in hurdling run because it is brilliant jumper.

Training/Behaviour:

It excels by remarkable vitality and it fits best for the sports-minded owner. It requires daily physical activity that it is granted in the form of long brisk pace and completed walks on a leash by owner´s foot. It is also ideal fitness training for races. It is also possible training by running along the bike, moving at a reasonable speed.
