Jaland Temperament and Behaviour

The Jalands are known to be very energetic, playful, and fun-loving. They are highly intelligent and respond well to training and guidance. They are extremely social and love being around people, and are excellent therapy dogs. They are gentle and protective with their family members, but can be nervous around strangers.

Jaland Activity Requirements

The Jaland is a small, short-haired dog that was bred to hunt small game, such as rabbits and rodents. Today, they are a popular companion and guard dog. The Jaland is a smaller, less energetic breed of dog. While they do not need the intense exercise of a larger dog, they do still enjoy getting out and moving around. A daily walk is the minimum requirement for most Jaelands. If you are looking for a low-energy, low-maintenance pet, the Jaeland may be a good choice for you. They need a short walk every day, but they don’t need much more than that. They are not as demanding as some other breeds, which makes them a good choice if you are a busy person.
