決める前に知っておくこと
Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:
害獣を狩り、キツネを穴から追い出すために遺伝的にプログラムされています。ハムスター、モルモット、ウサギ、鳥に対して致命的な脅威となります。子犬の頃から一緒に育てていない限り、ほとんどの場合は猫に対して信頼できません。
同性の犬に対する不寛容で有名です。何年も平和的に共存できますが、突然に激しい喧嘩が起こり永続的な分離が必要になることがあります。一般的に18〜24か月で現れます。
刺激が不足すると、庭を掘り返したり、落ち葉に向かって絶えず吠えたりします。これは仕事なしで現れるこの犬種の仕事倫理です。
チェーンリンクフェンスをよじ登り、壁の下を掘り、信じられないほど小さな隙間を通り抜けることができます。標準的な庭のフェンスは多くの場合、十分な抑止力にはなりません。
