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.
