The Ariegeois is not recommended for apartment life unless they are regularly exercised. They are relatively inactive indoors and will do best with at least a large yard.
This breed needs a lot of exercise. They do best when they can run free in their own fenced-in yard, but still need to go on long daily walks. Does best with a job to do.
About 10 - 12 years
About 3 to 6 puppies
The smooth, short-haired coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush, and shampoo only when necessary. This breed is an average shedder.
