He is primarily a guard dog, used to protect the flocks from preying wildlife and the home from intruders. He is well coated with a bushy tail. Usually, black, or black and tan, he can also be found in gold, and shades of grey. In his native environment he is very distrustful of strangers, and can be quite ferocious.
