Things to know: Some like to dig. Because they are a hunter they are not an “off leash” dog. They will follow their nose! Diligent obedience training is a must since they love to hunt.

Activity: Drevers love to run and play! They are great companions for any outdoor activity (hiking, biking, walking, etc.) They love to hang out with their people doing whatever you are doing. Content to be a couch potato as long as have some stimulating daily activity. Happiest with a good balanced routine. Any activity to stimulate their hunting abilities and scent work is greatly enjoyed by the Drever. They are excellent hunters.
