Companion: Content in simply being with his family and occasionally playing, but also enjoys going for walks.

​

Active Companion: A dog satisfied with daily walks and retrieval games. Needs interaction and exercise, but not necessarily formal training or competition. Most of our dogs fall into this category.

 

Very Active Companion: Similar to Active Companion, but requires more activity which should include more mental as well as physical stimulation.

​

Sport: Dog may need competition or formal training to challenge their higher drive and energy level.

​

Working: Dog displays intense herding instinct and some talent, which may need to be channeled into stock work or other intense, continuous activity.
