    Catalan Sheepdogs

    The Catalan Sheepdog is a lively active handsome dog that originates from Andorra in the Pyrenees where they were bred to work alongside shepherds guarding and herding large flocks of livestock. However over more recent times they have become a popular choice both as companion dogs and family pets elsewhere in the world albeit slowly in the UK. As such finding a well-bred Kennel Club registered puppy can prove challenging.
