The size and weight depend on the size of the dog, starting from very small size, weighing up to 4 kg and reaching up to very large size, with a weight over 45 kg. Born by natural selection, they are very resistant to diseases and easily adapt to various climatic conditions. Thus, life expectancy is between 15 and 20 years, but, as everywhere, there is an exception to the rule, which applies to this breed, leaving specimens that have lived up to 25 even 30 years.
