It's commonly known that dogs in general tend to act territorial based.
If someone rings the door bell, a dog barks, to express its joy, to warn of intruders or simply due to default of action alternatives.
Whereas the Hovawart claims his territory only nosing a grass stalk . And - woe betide you! - if anyone would ever dare to cross it again!
