Character:  Extremely intelligent, this breed can be trained to handle multiple responsibilities. Although a bit wary of strangers, and uneasy around strange dogs, especailly small ones, this shepherd completely trusts, and is devoted to its manster and family, including children. Care is necesssary, however to avoid provokingits aggressive behavior or disturbing it territorial sense.

        Care: As this breed tends to shed constantly, brushing for ten minutes three times a week is needed.

        Exercise: Long, daily walks on a lead are essential, and if possible , the dog should be kept in large, open yard, never small, confined space. If not kept busy or properly cared for, this breed tends to become excessively nervous, cowardly, mischievous, noisy, and generally uncontrollable and possibly dangerous to handle.

        Training: Early handling as well as thorough obedience training are best.
