In daily life, their attentive nature shines through; they are highly observant companions who closely tune in to their owners' actions and commands, boasting a trainability score of 4 out of 5. While they possess an athletic spirit, with an exercise need and energy level of 3 out of 5, they are also wonderfully calm indoors.
