Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hanoverians good with children?

Yes, they are peaceful and mellow, particularly when brought up with children. Yet they can be more attached to one of the adults in the family.

Do they get along with other pets?

With early socialisation, they can coexist, but their prey drive may kick in around small animals like rabbits or birds.

How much do they bark?

They’re generally quiet unless alert or excited during work.

Can Hanoverians live in apartments?

Not ideal. They thrive in homes with large yards and open spaces where they can safely track scents and stretch their legs.
