Hair long, rather harsh. Slight waviness is tolerated but only in certain limits. Best if the owner makes a formal introduction. He objects to strange children being physical with his children. Quite tolerant with family's pets.
Trouble is to be over food.
If more than one dog is kept it is important to feed separately. Family pet and herding guard-dog. Intuitive, watchful and has a strong sense of territory. Bark a lot. Unsociable and reserved with strangers.
