SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

EXERCISE
This dog's origins are as a working dog. Previously it watched over the herds and flocks on the extensive Polish plains and it remains a herding dog in heart and mind. Consequently it is not a town dog which will be content with three little outings per day. Its brain needs stimulating with changes of scenery and preferably with something to do. Join a dog group where it can join in agility training, or fly-ball which are both activities it will relish.
