Behaviour

Standard gives no temperament section

This 1983 FCI standard carries no Behaviour / Temperament section. What it does state about the breed's purpose is that utilization is scenthound for hunting small game, and that aggressive or overly shy dogs are a disqualifying fault. Nothing further about the breed's character is documented by the FCI.
