Personality: Get along well with those they around most frequently. Since they are guard dogs, they tend to still be defensive towards strangers. Supervision is advised when around other people and pets in the neighborhood that they aren't familiar with. When they are warmed up to others, they are the friendliest dogs. They are very smart and easy to train. Early exposure to socialization and obedience training will help prevent them from a more aggressive and over guarding behavior.
