Majorca Shepherd Dog

The Majorca Shepherd Dog was never bred for beauty and has a rough appearance.

The Majorca Shepherd Dog (Ca de Bestiar or Perro de Pastor Mallorquin) is a domesticated breed of dog, used in the Balearic Islands of Spain, both for guarding sheep and as a general purpose farm dog.

Although it is unusual for a black dog to tolerate heat well, the Majorca Shepherd Dog can tolerate the high temperatures of the Mediterranean climate, and they have been exported to Brazil where they have been successfully used to protect private property.
