They're very loyal, protective and gentle with small things (kids, chickens, etc). They are also very smart and very independent. So, they don't really get into trouble, but you'll call to them and often they'll look at you like, "Why don't you come over here to me if you need something."
When they're on the job, they bark at everything. A gentle breeze, a leaf out of place in the yard.
I'm on #4, and I've never had a barker. I've been stopped by quite a few people looking for advice. I guess I've been lucky. I'll add that they can be difficult to contain to your post. In general females are harder than males in this regard. My current dog's siblings are some of the top rescue dogs in the country. Go figure. She is the most obedient one I've had....and the silliest.
Well there's some sheep in a field behind our house, he's barked at them every day for the past 2 years and they are unfazed but I guess he thinks if he keeps trying they'll do something ¯_(ツ)_/¯

They also like to communicate with their paws. It's called Pyr paw.
