Good dogs. Tough, pretty even tempered and good noses. Some are even decent retrievers. They tend to be a bit tougher to train than say a lab or a golden. May be a little harder to have in the house but I've still seen a fair number that are good in the house. They like to run so be prepared for that.... it's just in their breeding. They may seem a bit aloof... again compared to breeds like labs, goldens, springers but some folks really like that in dependant streak.
