Summary
About Broholmer
The Broholmer is a large, calm Danish mastiff-type guardian, devoted to its family and home. Steady, watchful, and typically gentle, it needs moderate exercise, mental stimulation, and close companionship. Still rare outside Scandinavia, breeding emphasizes health and stable temperament.
About German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
