Personality what they are like
A devoted, watchful dog that guards its home and people and is reserved with strangers. It is known for being quick to learn.1
Daily activity how busy a day looks
A strong, active working dog kept for guarding and hunting, so it needs regular vigorous exercise.1
Grooming and care the hands-on bits
The short coat is easy to care for with a weekly brush.1
Company who they like around

The story where it all began
