Catalan Sheepdog

Ancestor to one of the oldest dog breeds in the world, the Catalan Sheepdog descended from the ancient Pyrenees sheepdogs brought over to Spain by Romans, where today they are still used for guarding and herding livestock. The large sheep dog stands at 17 to 21 inches and weighs 35 to 40 pounds. This noble, loving dog does well with families including children and other pets.
