The Portuguese Sheepdog is intelligent, lively, and extremely loyal and affectionate with its family, including children. It is protective and wary of strangers, making it an excellent watchdog without being aggressive. Early socialisation is important to manage its natural herding instinct and potential timidity or aggression.
The Portuguese Sheepdog has a long, goat-like coat without an undercoat, which means it does not shed heavily. Regular brushing is needed to avoid matting, and their coat type makes grooming manageable with routine care.
The Portuguese Sheepdog is good with children and makes a loyal family companion. It requires early socialisation and thrives in active households where it receives plenty of mental and physical stimulation.
