Some people believe the Serra d'Aires to have descended from Briards, a French dog breed, after being bred with Portuguese local mountain dogs. And there are still other people who believe that the Serra d'Aires is simply a Portuguese Water Dog that adopted sheepdog behaviour. Whatever the case is, the Serra d'Aires is a most loving dog.
The Serra d'Aires are a medium-sized dog breed. They are very intelligent and cheerful dogs, but they can also be a little stubborn. Once trained, they are passionate and reliable.
The Serra d'Aires dogs learn fast and can adapt to living in a urban environment if they get sufficient regular outdoors exercise. They socialize easily and form strong bonds with their master or family, whom they like to "herd" as a natural behaviour of a pure breed herding dog.
The all-weather coat of the Serra de Aires is slightly long, but not very smooth. Brushing them once a week is enough, because excessive brushing may affect its texture and natural look. For further advice on how to care and educate your puppy follow Barry's tips.
