DOG BREED
Possibly descended from powerful mastiffs brought to Europe from Asia by nomadic shepherds, this breed is also known as the Refeiro de Alentejo, named after the Alentejo region of Portugal. Traditionally used for guarding, the Portuguese watchdog is alert and suspicious of strangers. Formidable in size and strength, though not aggressive, this dog is unsuitable for novice handlers.
