The breed is native to the region of the Black Forest and is mentioned in texts and medieval paintings. Its name is attributed to the words WART (Guardian) and HOVA / HOF (House). Always present in southern Germany as the guardian of the farms breed was reselected consistently since 1922 starting with dogs found similar all'Hovawart medieval. Were also used for the selection of Newfoundland, the Leonberger, the Rottweiler, the German Shepherd, and even Saint Bernard.
The Hovawart, ranked among the mastiff, is a very strong dog utility, of large size, strong but slender than other mastiff as the Swiss cowherd.

Tolerate evil all kinds of exclusion is not the dog to keep in the garden to play with every now and then. It's a dog and give their best to live constantly with his human herd, at home, at work, traveling. It is clear that the general attitude towards the dogs that found in Italy in restaurants, hotels, places of work and in any other public place, is a deterrent to the spread of this dog in Italy.

Expressed toward other animals the same nature as that expressed toward humans, affectionate and playful if at home, cautious if strangers.
The Hovawart needs a lot of physical activity and mental health.
