La-Chon Temperament and Behaviour
The La-Chon is a quiet, calm, and well-mannered breed. They are gentle, loving, and loyal to their owners. They are generally quiet, but do bark to alert their owners to something out of the ordinary. They are very active, and require daily exercise.
La-Chon Activity Requirements
The La-Chon is a high-energy hunting dog that was bred to be a running companion. They are incredibly active and will need several hours of vigorous activity each day. The La-ChOn requires a lot of space and is not suitable for apartment life. They require access to a fenced yard or a field where they can run off leash. They also need lots of opportunities to exercise and play for enjoyment. The La-ChOn is not a “low maintenance” breed. They require a lot of attention and care, and may not be a good choice for a young, busy family. But for the right family, the La-ChOn is a wonderful, robust, and loyal companion.
