@bluegama500 Actually only show lines dogs are small, the working line dogs are huge. Here in Portugal you can find giant estrela moutain dogs, they're cattle and guard dogs, yes, they protected livestock from wolves.

this breed is known by protecting goats from wolves,fighting to the death
-
not bred to specifically hunt wolves but quite capable of doing so

@Vizcaio I meant it's quick how they grow up....

@bluegama500 ???? didn not understand!!!!!!

@K9TMD You are not that familiar? But you made an entire video about them lol

@Vizcaio That's quick.

@bluegama500 some of the specimens are smaller(younger). they grow up till 3 years old.

@ovcharkasuk best way is to get one from a certified breeder in Portugal.
these dogs look way too small to be a livestock dog,are'nt they bred for killing or hurting wolves?

Sorry bluegama, I am not that familiar with the EMD, but as far as I know they are LGD's, and am sure they would be more than capable of doing their job of protecting the flocks, as opposd to actually hunting and killing wolves

I was refering to LGD (Livestock Guardian Dog) as a dog performing a role not a breed as in GSD (German Shepherd Dog)
