With an energy level of 5 out of 5 and demanding exercise needs also rated 5 out of 5, these dogs are perpetually ready for action and thrive when given a purpose. Their inherent Alertness makes them excellent watchdogs, always tuned into their surroundings and quick to notice anything new or out of place.
