What are you going to do with it?

What are you going to do with it?

This would be my concern too.

We aren't looking for one as a working dog, we'd be looking for one as a family pet. We lead a very active outdoor lifestyle and have been doing a lot of reading about the breed and think it would fit in well with our lifestyle. We're very aware of the level of ongoing training we'd need to do for a breed of this intelligence and need for exercise

A huntaway will be in a rescue before it's 2. Get a Labrador.

Thanks for the advice! What about the breed makes you say that? I definitely don't want to take on a dog that we wont be able to handle and likewise wouldn't want to bring a dog into a life that's not appropriate for it.

I have a Huntaway that works when she is required but makes a fantastic house / yard dog. They are pretty smart and teachable..... at times ?, but do need a hell of a lot of exercise.
im not sure they are really suited to the urban life... but then I don’t live the urban life myself.

They work by barking. If you have neighbours they will endlessly make noise complaints.

I’m not sure I agree with that entirely,our Huntaway has a really good bark BUT it has a better quiet!
They are not as hyper as a collie without work can be

This is all incredibly helpful information and advice everyone. I really appreciate it.

They make great pets , mine lies on the couch all the time only barks if working and asked to , great worker and even better house dog , know a few who have them as pets and get on grand .

Hi Natalie, I have had a Huntaway x Collie for almost 12 years. They are fantastic dogs but require plenty of work and exercise. Incredibly loyal dogs but you will never manage to give it the work/exercise that it needs. I have never managed to exhaust mine I really don’t think they would be suited to a non working environment.
Good luck in finding the right dog for your family.

Our huntaway barks non stop when working but is quieter than our collie when in his run. Collie barks at foxes, dogs, walkers, cyclists etc. We had a litter from the two and all pups have gone to working homes but are also family pets and in my experience they are better than collies as their temperament is superb, they do as other posters say need plenty of exercise and I dont think that can be on lead as they need to cover vast mileages to tire out.

Thank you! That's really interesting.

Thank you! That's really interesting.

my huntaway tires easily , like most large dogs they don’t need that much exercise they big placid animals.They have Labrador in their blood lines so they a bit like a Labrador in some ways .
