The listed origin is Germany. The coat is described as smooth, wiry, short. The AKC energy score is 4 out of 5, 0.4 points above the group average of 3.6 for the Foundation Stock Service. Shedding scores 2 out of 5, so loose hair is limited. Grooming scores 1 out of 5, so home brushing covers most weeks. Trainability scores 4 out of 5, which is a biddable score.

AKC parent-club recommended health screenings: Von Willebrand's Disease DNA Test and Canine Footpad Hyperkeratosis. These are screening tests, not a list of diseases the breed is guaranteed to develop.
