These proud dogs are often confused with the German Shepherd, mostly because they are also used by the military and police. They can focus on moving objects, making them perfect for such work. They were originally bred to be herding dogs. Given this, they are very active dogs that need socialization and obedience training, particularly if you live in an apartment or don’t have a lot of land space. They are great for families especially if you have children they can chase around. This breed can get anywhere from 40 to 80 lbs and live to be around 14 to 16 years old.
