Raising a Sardinian Shepherd Dog

The Sardinian Shepherd Dog, also called a "Cane Fonnese" or "Pastore Fonnese," is an Italian island dog breed. Shepherds on the island rely heavily on this breed for herding and protecting their flocks. Because of their speed, intelligence, and devotion to their masters, Sardinian Shepherd Dogs are ideal for herding and guarding sheep and goats.
These canines are normally medium size, with upright ears and a short, dense coat that gives them a unique appearance. Their superior herding and guarding abilities have made them invaluable in keeping flocks safe from danger and under control. The Sardinian Shepherd Dog has long been a vital part of the region's farming and livestock industries, and its presence is ubiquitous in Sardinian pastoral culture.
