A hardy Pyrenean herder that loves a task
The Catalan Sheepdog is a tough, agile herder from Catalonia and the Pyrenees, with a shaggy, weatherproof coat. It is bright, loyal and eager to work, and it needs plenty of activity and a purpose to stay content.

This breed needs about 90 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service
Around 90 minutes a day, ideally including running and training games. It is an athletic breed that copes poorly with a sedentary life.
It can. It is a watchful herder that barks at unusual sounds and visitors, so early training to stop on cue is useful.
It is not ideal. It can adapt if it gets a lot of daily exercise and mental work, but a home with outdoor space suits it better.
