Also still used for hunting. Artificial selection has made the medium-sized Bodencoer smaller in size while retaining other characteristics. Relatively speaking, little attention is paid to changes in color and coat. Some individuals have the same color, and some dogs have white spots. Some dogs have short, smooth coats, while others have long, rough coats. One benefit of human intervention in the breeding process of the Bodenco is that the dogs have a low incidence of hereditary diseases and genetic defects.
