Character and nature
As lively and spirited as the Kromfohrländer is, he also has a sensitive and insecure nature. If he has patient and self-assured people by his side who can guide him well and know how to handle his insecurity, he flourishes and shows his best side. Due to his sensitive nature, he forms a close bond with his caregivers and becomes a true dream dog. He tends to be skeptical towards strangers and animals and can also show [→territorial behavior](/magazin/hunde/hunde-erziehung/aggressives-verhalten-bei-hunden-verstehen-und-unterbinden).
The sweet Kromfi is therefore not a [→family dog, as described in the books](/magazin/hunde/hunderassen/8-beliebte-hunderassen-fuer-familien-kinder). He needs experienced dog owners who dedicate a lot of time to him and respond to his sensitivity. However, with a lot of empathy and presence, he can also become a great family member. If he lives in a family where he feels comfortable and where his character is well taken into account, he has [→nothing against children](/magazin/hunde/hunderassen/das-sind-die-top-12-hunderassen-fuer-kinder).

Training and care
Due to his sensitive and insecure character, the Kromfohrländer is not suitable for →dog beginners. Experienced owners with a lot of dog knowledge and empathy are needed here, as the Kromfi only forgives training mistakes to a limited extent due to his sensitive nature. Even in everyday life, the four-legged friend can sometimes be a bit "over the top." Here, the right balance of action and calm is required. For a happy dog life and harmonious coexistence, secure guidance from his caregivers is essential.
Since the breed forms a strong bond with its people, clear ideas about →dog training and certain rules in the house are important. A consistent yet loving guidance gives the insecure four-legged friend the security he seeks. Those who penetrate the breed and have built a trusting and deep bond will experience a very special human-dog relationship. Then the Kromfohrländer shows his gentle side and follows his two-legged companion everywhere.
Especially excursions into nature are a lot of fun with the Kromfi. He is an eager companion on hikes, bike rides, and also enthusiastic about dog sports like agility or bikejoring. As long as he is sufficiently exercised and enjoys close family connections, the Kromfohrländer also feels comfortable in the city. A private garden, where he can let off steam from time to time, is of course desirable.
