These animals require a lot more attention than most breeds. They will do ANYTHING for you and ABSOLUTELY need human affection. Human touch and praise is so engrained into them, that they suffer psychological damage if not given enough of it. This breed is WONDERFUL with kids and people. However, they are a WORKING breed. An hour walk or play every day is an absolute MUST. If not, they become destructive, destroying their doghouse, water bowl or anything they can get their mouth on. They must be given work. These dogs can (with supervision) get along with each other if raised together, but for the most part, they are VERY dog aggressive and must be walked on a lead at all times. So, if you still want one of these dogs, be prepared to spend A LOT of time with them. I recommend the 10 x 10 Magnum Kennels from Tractor Supply . They are the absolute best. I also recommend the rubber horse stall flooring. They make it in a 10 X 10 and it washes off very easily. I recommend washing once in the morning, and once at night. Also to keep the rain out, you need a heavy duty tarp for each kennel. The best doghouse in the market is the K-9 Hondo Dog Den II. Your dog will love it and you'll never have to buy another doghouse. To be sanitary and keep your neighbors happy, you must build a septic tank. For feed, we only feed Natures Variety Instinct Duck & Turkey. It is the absolute best feed. There is no substitute. If you are not willing to keep your dog this way at a MINIMUM, then you shouldn't own this strain of this wonderful breed.

I'm pretty sure that all of this is what EVO is refering to when he says, If you are not willing to keep your dog this way at a MINIMUM, the you shouldn't own this strain of this wonderful breed.

In all you have to take care of your dog.
