A few dogs to get to know
Look past the photograph. Discover what living together could mean.
Medium 13.6–24.9 kg
A quick-learning herding dog with a strong need for purposeful activity. Training interest and time matter more than simply having a large garden.
Small
A very small, alert companion with a definite voice. Gentle handling, confidence-building and ordinary dog training matter as much as a compact size.
Medium 11.3–18.1 kg
A lightly built sighthound that can enjoy fast running and quiet rest. Secure exercise, warmth and caution around chase opportunities are important practical needs.
