Common Health Problems An alround healthy breed. If anything may suffer from glaucoma, epilepsy and thyroid problems.

Living Conditions Will be happy in the country or a town. Although if living in a town house it will need to have a garden and a securely fenced one at that.

Exercise Requirements An active, energetic breed which needs a good long daily walk or a couple of shorter walks a day including time at the park.

Training Requirements Pretty average when it comes to obedience training. They do best with firm and consistence, reward based training methods. A strong willed breed not always willing to do as you would like.

Life Expectancy 14 years.

Grooming The dense, hard and wiry coat needs a good brush at least once a week to prevent matting and tangles. The coat also needs stripping 3 or 4 times a year. Some owners have the coat clipped, which is cheaper, but it changes the coat texture and colour.
