He lives for food and running. For the former we give him brown rice and carrots and lean mince or chicken liver. As for the latter, he spends circa 4 hours out in the open every day.
He's a very sensible dog, we often joke about his knack for "feeling situations".
He isn't overtly playful with others, nor is he completely independent. I would say he is warmly enganged with the world around him.
