Люблю эту породу, очень. Для детей отличный друг и компаньен. Однако как охрану ее нужно жестко дрессировать, а так ростет как хочет, команды выполняет, а головой сильно не думает самостоятельно. посторонних иногда пропустит, а иногда проводит до дверей. Но конечно страх наведет на любого, вид бегущей овчарки - это зрелище!))
