Kromfohrlander

Kromfohrlanders are lively, good-natured, and intelligent dogs. Unlike some breeds in the terrier group, they have a low hunting drive. They are very adaptable and rarely stray from their owners.

This breed is pleasant, loyal, and enjoys hanging out at home with the family. Though they can be initially hesitant around strangers and children, these playful dogs make for lifelong friends once they warm up to people. The Kromfohrlander also makes a good watch dog and—like its terrier cousins—an all-star rat catcher.

As puppies, Kromfohrlanders need proper training and socialization, or they will test the limits of their owners.

Kromfohrlanders can be finicky about what they eat. For this reason, they require high-quality food to maintain their weight and energy level. Though it's always important to keep an eye on how much food you're feeding your dog, it's unlikely you'll have to worry about this breed overeating.

This breed typically sheds twice a year. You'll need to vacuum or sweep regularly to clean up fallen hair. But otherwise, these are clean, low-maintenance dogs with little or no smell.

Kromfohrlanders would happily rest at the side of their people all day. However, regular outdoor exercise is important. This sporty and athletic breed loves to play and run.

Once Kromfohrlanders hit age three and their joints have developed, they can jump in the air for a frisbee. But a long walk in the woods seems to be their favorite pastime.

It's important to note that the Kromfohrlanders don't typically do well at a dog park. They prefer dogs they already know over those they don't—and the same is true about unfamiliar people and situations.

Though a little independent, Kromfohrlanders are easy to train. They have a strong ability to focus and maintain attention. As a result, they can learn many tricks and will happily engage in long training sessions.

As intuitive, eager learners, Kromfohrlanders thrive with positive reinforcement.
