    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Picking a dog can be both perplexing and exciting. But the one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's personality will reveal itself.

    Knowing why a breed was developed, and the country and climate it originally came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and temperament.

    Some breeds demand much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also require time to cultivate: the boxer's spirited and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of specific breeds can be very hard work in the early weeks but can make fabulous adult dogs.

    There are seven types of dogs:
    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral

Cao da Serra de Aires Information

The coat of the Portuguese Sheepdog is either long and smooth or with a slight wave. It does not have an undercoat. Colors include yellow-red chestnut, gray, fawn, wolf or black. A few white hairs are permissible but patches of white hairs are not, except for white patches on the chest. The forelimbs are symmetrically covered with long hair. It has a beard, which gives it a mature look. The eyes are round and dark, with a gentle expression. The moderately sized ears usually hang down the sides of the cheeks, but sometimes they are cropped. Cropping is banned in some European countries. For his moderate size, the dog appears rather high on the legs. His feet are particularly adaptable to rough terrain. His legs are strong and his chest is deep. The hair is longer on the head, giving the dog bangs and a banged-up untidy look. It has a wide, sturdy head with a prominent nose, and strong jaws and teeth. The tail is pointed, reaching the dog's hocks.

The breed standard states that the ideal Cão da Serra de Aires is "exceptionally intelligent and very lively.", devoted to the flock and the shepherd but wary of strangers and a good night guarding dog.
