Description
The Schillerstövare is an active, eager companion, happiest when on the move and exploring. Their keen sense of smell and boundless energy are a testament to their hunting heritage, making them excellent partners for long hikes or scent work. Around the house, they're generally amiable and loyal, forming strong bonds with their families. However, their independent spirit and tendency to follow their nose mean consistent training and a secure yard are absolute necessities. They thrive with active individuals who appreciate a dog that loves to work and play.
