The Feist is a strong-willed dog that does not tend to be recommended for the first time dog owner. The dog must be taught early on that the human is the leader or it will quickly develop behavioral issues. Feists are high-spirited but lovable. Because the dog is a hunting breed, it should never be left without a job to do; a bored Feist is a destructive Feist. These dogs excel in sports like obedience, agility and flyball.
