Jacairn Activity Requirements

Jacarandas are medium-sized, intelligent dogs that are descended from the Iberian Peninsula. They were originally bred as hunting dogs and are still used for that purpose today. While Jacarandras are not high-energy, they do require regular exercise. They live well with other dogs, but they can be fairly independent, so they are not recommended for first-time dog owners. An outdoor run with your dog or a good game of fetch will keep your Jacarandra happy and healthy. If you live with an active, athletic family, a Jacarandara may be a good match for you. But if you lead a more sedentary lifestyle, this may not be the best breed of dog for you.
