The Rafeiro do Alentejo is a large, robust breed from Portugal, known for its impressive guarding instincts and gentle nature. These dogs are loyal companions, often serving as livestock guardians. With a calm demeanor, they are good with families and children, but their strong-willed temperament requires experienced handling. Rafeiros are relatively low-maintenance in grooming, needing only occasional brushing, making them suitable for active households that appreciate their protective qualities and affectionate disposition.

Delaware State Parks are dog-friendly, so you can bring your best furry friend for a hike in your home state anytime you like. Dogs are also allowed on many of Delaware’s beautiful beaches, though often according to an annual schedule. Rehoboth Beach, for example, welcomes canine visitors between the months of October and April. Check out Elsmere’s dog park when your dog could do with a social visit, and play together on the agility training equipment. Residents and visitors alike will enjoy stopping by the pet-friendly cafés, breweries, pubs, and dog parks available in this picturesque state! You and your dog can even see a movie together at the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand
