Some people believe the Serra d'Aires to have descended from Briards, a French dog breed,
after being bred with Portuguese local mountain dogs. And there are still other people who believe that the
Serra d'Aires is simply a Portuguese Water Dog that adopted a sheepdog behaviour.
Whatever the case is, the Serra d'Aires is a most loving dog.
The Serra d'Aires is a medium-sized dog breed. They are very intelligent and cheerful,
but they can also be a little stubborn. Once trained, they become passionate and reliable.
The Serra d'Aires dogs learn fast and can adapt to living in a urban environment
if they get sufficient regular outdoors exercise. They socialize easily and form strong bonds with their master or family,
whom they like to "herd" as a natural behaviour of a purebreed herding dog.
The all-weather coat of the Serra de Aires is slightly long, but not very smooth.
Brushing them once a week is enough, because excessive brushing may affect its texture and natural look.
