Portuguese shepherds always know what you need from them and don’t require special care. These dogs are unpretentious, hardy and can handle any weather conditions. They are able to monitor not only small animals, like goats and sheep, but also horses or cattle.
Portuguese shepherds are popular mainly in Portugal, nevertheless they are one of the best herding breeds.
