I love my mioritic shepherd more than anything! She is super affectionate, loving, and loyal. She does nip a lot and is very protective. This breed does require proper training and socialization at a young age.

I had 4 mioritics, and know more then 10, all well above your max 59 kg, female included. The biggest was 72 kg and the smallest was 63 kg. I guess the size data is accurate for dogs crossed with mioritics.
