Watch and guard Dog.
A mastiff type lupoid dog with rather rectangular lines. A strong dog, of pleasant appearance and often of striking coat. His gait is free, easy and full of nerve. His bark is quite characteristic, very loud, starting in variable, generally low tones and ending up in prolonged high-pitched sounds similar to howling.
A loyal companion, obedient to his own family, absolutely necessary as defender of the herds against the wolf which still abounds in the neighbourhood; he is the ideal guard dog for the places entrusted to his protection. Noble carriage, with a strong and severe expression, hardy as a mountaineer. He sometimes takes a hostile attitude, but he is not quarrelsome.
Height at the withers : Males 55 to 60 cm. Females 52 to 57 cm.
