The Utonagan is often described as being of superb temperament and is also often talked about as a wonderful family dog and companion. They love the company of people, and get along well with cats and smaller dogs if introduced to them at an early age.
The Utonagan is not a guard dog, and will lick a stranger rather than bark at them. Utonagan will, howl from time to time.(Wikipedia)
The Utonagan needs companionship and attention, and can develop destructive behaviour if left alone for long periods. Unlike some of their ancestors, Utonagan will return to their owner when called if trained properly. Most Utonagan adore being trained and are eager to please their owners.
The Utonagan's coat is very easy to manage and (roughly) only requires a twice weekly brush. However, when the dog is moulting, its coat will require more attention.(Wikipedia)
