Frequently Asked Questions
Is the breed hypoallergenic?
No, the coat sheds dander, and it might not be suitable for allergy sufferers.
Can a Portuguese Sheepdog live in an apartment?
Only when exercised intensely several times a day. Suitable for a rural home or acreage with security fences.
How much grooming time does it require weekly?
Around 20 minutes, including brushing, ear checks, and beard cleaning.
Does it get along with other pets?
Yes, when they are socialised early. The herding instinct, however, can also lead them to herd or round up cats or children.
