Overview

Kromfohrlanders are small, spirited dogs that will stick to you like glue! They are so cheery and lovable, though, that you won’t mind. They make great family pets and sometimes chose one person as their favorite. Kromfohrlanders are loyal and will make sure you know that someone new is nearing. These sweet dogs are highly trainable and obedient to boot.

Kromfohrlanders are homebodies who will become your shadow, happily looking on as you make breakfast, read the newspaper, and choose your outfit for the day. They also make great foot warmers. These sweet dogs bond deeply with their families but can sometimes become closest to one person. Kromfohrlanders will alert you of new people approaching, but they are never aggressive. Smart and playful, Kromfohrlanders pick up on new tricks easily. It’s hard to have a bad day when you have these cheery dogs by your side!

Temperament and Behavior

Kromfohrlanders are smiley companions who aim to please. They will not only listen to you, but also truly enjoy learning new tricks and games. These small dogs are loyal to their people – especially to their chosen person – and are alert. Kromfohrlanders will be the first to notice when someone new has arrived, but after learning you know this new someone, they are quick to wag their tails and welcome them too. They are sticky dogs who want to be with you and will not run away.

Coat & Grooming

If you like dogs but don’t love the doggy smell that often comes with them, you might enjoy having a Kromfohrlander around. Whether you choose the smooth or wire-haired variety, these little dogs are very clean and known to have little odor. Kromfohrlanders are pretty low maintenance dogs in general, and their grooming is no different. Brush weekly, bathe as needed, and do regular doggie upkeep, like brushing teeth and clipping toenails, to keep these cute pups healthy.

Lifestyle & Living Conditions

Kromfohrlanders are happiest when living indoors with their people. An ideal match for these happy-go-lucky dogs would be someone who loves to be with their pet as often as humanly possible. Although they have been known to amuse themselves, don’t expect these dogs to go off on their own; their favorite activity is whatever you’re doing at the moment. If a little fur ball staring at you adoringly 24/7 sounds like too much, Kromfohrlanders might not be the right fit. These pups are adaptable and can be happy in most living situations and climates. They love attention from children and easily accept other dogs and pets.

Exercise & Activity

Kromfohrlanders don’t require a lot of space to live in, but they would like daily outdoor exercise. They’ll be your jogging buddy. Or your Frisbee catcher. Or your agility partner. They take direction easily and love it when you teach them new games! An easygoing bunch, Kromfohrlanders will also be happy with a fun game of fetch.
