Catalan Sheepdog

The Catalan Sheepdog (Catalan: Gos d'Atura Català, Spanish: Pastor Catalán) is a Spanish breed of herding dog. It originated in valleys and foothills of the Pyrenees of Catalonia, but has spread throughout Catalonia and much of Spain; there are breed societies in Finland, France, Germany and Holland.
It was traditionally used to herd livestock, particularly horses and sheep. In the twenty-first century it may also be kept as a companion animal.
