Short description

The Chartreux has a calm and relaxed character. She is very quiet and is very attached to her family. She can be dissmissive towards strangers. She does not like hectic environments, therefore, she needs places of retreat where she can have her peace and quiet. She is eager to learn new tricks. Her coat is well adapted to the cold, subsequently she can be outdoors regardless the weather.

This information is indicative and adheres to the breed standard. Each animal is an individual and has a personal character, as well as its own needs. Thus, a breed is not a guarantee of certain behaviors, etc.
