Clever, quick witted and sure of themselves, the Catalan can work livestock by themselves, but at home they are loyal and lovable with family. They take a while to warm up to strangers, and the guarding instinct is still strong, although Catalans prefer to take a watchful eye, rather than react aggressively. Easily capable of excelling in a number of sports, the modern Catalan Sheepdog will be a fun and engaging companion for those interested in dog related competition and activity who are experienced with quick-thinking sensitive dogs.
