answers and dogs facts

This breed is an excellent guard dog. They will fiercely defend their property and family. They are aloof with strangers and strange animals. When raised with other pets they will accept them as part of their flock. They should be enrolled in obedience training when young, and should be handled with patience. They are quite independent and tend to be dominant. This breed is best suited for a home with a large fenced yard and dog door so they can come and go as they please.
