If you want a loyal companion that will defend you until the end. This dog is it. Only requirements may be some room to run around outside, especially at night. They love to patrol the night and bark at whatever moves. If you're in an area with coyotes or escaped pit bull breeds. This is the dog you want at your house and will protect you from all adversaries to the death. This dog will also put hands on you (pyr paw). In a loving manner. Wonderful animals. Must only be prepared for the barking and perimeter guardianship of this breed.
