The 1st Meeting of Castro Laboreiro Livestock Guardian Dogs took place in the village of Alvadia (Parish Seat of the Municipality of Ribeira de Pena). Jointly organised by Grupo Lobo and the Castro Laboreiro Dog Club, this 1st Meeting aimed to promote the use of livestock guardian dogs, foster contact between different owners, showcase existing specimens and clarify the characteristics of a good guardian dog of this breed. All livestock farmers involved in projects developed by Grupo Lobo who own Castro Laboreiro Dogs were invited. A brief assessment of the 12 participating dogs was carried out according to their morphological quality, physical condition and performance in flock protection. The assessments were commented aloud for the audience. After the meeting, participants were invited to visit a Castro Laboreiro Dog Photographic Exhibition. The top 6 placed dogs received a bronze medal of the Castro Laboreiro Dog, donated by the Castro Laboreiro Dog Club. This 1st Meeting was a great success among the livestock farmers, who showed great desire to participate in a future event.
