They were bred for pulling a load for many hours, day after day for hundreds of kilometres. So, they need a lot of exercise or they get bored and will find their own way of getting stimulation (i.e indulging in what we could consider mischief). They are also excellent diggers and can jump over surprisingly high fences/walls. So, they are excellent escape artists too.

If you are experienced with dogs, it shouldn't be an issue and it will be a lot of fun as they are clever and to a degree independent too. On the other hand, if you aren't really clear about what you are getting into, it might spell trouble.

In any case, I wish you luck and hope that you find a suitable canine companion.
