Thane is a good dog. He has moderate drive and energy, is fairly biddable and loves to learn new things. His coat is low maintenance, and he seems to have a hardy constitution. He possesses good herding instincts, though his grit is not high enough for difficult stock such as goats and cattle. He loves children, and is friendly toward most strangers. He is gentle and sensitive, but also takes his watchdog responsibility very seriously. He has caught and killed some rodents.
