ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Elbe so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
