FCI:

General Appearance:

Character is friendly, helpful, absolutely fearless, cheerful, extrovert like all Terriers, optimistic, inquisitive, but also tough and confident at all times. It excels in intelligence, cunning, too. If it does not do what you are asking it, it is difficult enough to persuade dog to do it.

It is also extremely playful, ideal companion for children during the games, even though they are a bit wilder. It's very generous. In a pinch, if it has enough toys it can play by itself (eg. With ball), which is necessary, it can avoid boredom. In the garden it likes to burrow and dig, "burrow", who loves gardening it is usually not suitable breed for lovers of gardening. There must be limited fence where the burrowing is permitted.

Temperament/ Behaviour:

If it does not respect the commands, it lets you know that "absolutely it does not know and does not understand what's going on." Any intervention or even harder force is not an option would harden. Equally difficult it is to distract it by a mere prohibition from what is firmly decided to do. Although it obeys and it is well behaved dog, but it will be certainly sooner or later, in an unpredictable moment to try again. Therefore, it is suitable only for owners who are quiet, patient and consistent enough; it suits them, dog´s relentless ubiquity immense agility. It is suitable for some people slightly choleric foundation (if you are aware of). You could have for its character always enough understanding. With cats and others and mall pets it   can tolerate with if dog had the opportunity to fully acquainted at an early age under the appropriately broad socialization.
