Although this type of dog was the duck hunting dog, they did not hunt ducks directly. There were traps around pond to catch ducks and the dogs tried to get attention of the ducks by wagging their tails. The ducks were interested in the wagging tails and chased them. The dogs just leaded the ducks to traps to help people for hunting. Therefore, there is no ferocity, and they are calm and friendly.
However, they need a lot of exercise. My dog acts up by much stress if exercise is not enough. Since it is not enough just walk, I go jogging with my dog every day. Since she likes a ball playing, she repeats to catch a ball and bring it to me forever until I finish.
She sometimes becomes a spoiled child. She tries to get in the way of my use of smartphone by getting in between me and it. She is also cunningly clever. She sets chin, have a hand on me, or turn over on her side when she wants my attention. She knows people feel it is cute if she does it.
This dog is also good for training. She enters to crate by herself when I go out or she goes to bed.
I am glad to feel her growing.
