Is the Pachón Navarro right for you?
The Pachón Navarro is a mid-sized breed that is comfortable in most homes, though a bit of space and a garden are welcome. In terms of temperament, it gets on with children when raised around them and will alert you to visitors but is not an aggressive guardian. Day to day, the Pachón Navarro needs a good deal of daily exercise — long walks, running or vigorous play, which is the single biggest factor in whether it will suit your routine.
Exercise and daily routine
The Pachón Navarro needs a good deal of daily exercise — long walks, running or vigorous play. With high energy and high athleticism, a consistent daily routine keeps this breed physically and mentally satisfied. Skipping exercise is the most common cause of problem behaviour, so match the Pachón Navarro to a lifestyle you can realistically maintain.
Grooming, shedding and upkeep
The Pachón Navarro is about as low-effort to groom as dogs get and drops very little hair. It is not considered hypoallergenic, so allergy sufferers should spend time around the breed first.
Temperament and training
The Pachón Navarro is quick to learn and a pleasure to train and keeps fairly quiet, barking occasionally. It tolerates being left alone for a normal working stretch if eased into it, so plan for company or gradual alone-time training if you work away from home. Early socialisation and positive, reward-based training bring out the best in this breed.
