Okay lets try another one- this should be easy.. ( I think..)..
Okay- originally a herding breed, to herd sheep or multipurpose herding, also had to have the ability to protect the flock from wolves, as well as protect the owner from intruders on the farm or even taking the flock into town to market. They had to be able to track loss sheep, and be hearty enough and healthy enough to perform different tasks around the farm.
