Some short‑haired Serra da Estrela Dogs, integrated into the Livestock Guardian Dog Programme, were photographed by Carlos Pimentel for CÃOstelação – a Photography Exhibition about the Serra da Estrela Dog. This exhibition, organised by Canil d'Alpetratínia with the support of Grupo Lobo, aims to showcase the various functional aspects and abilities of the breed, from livestock protection to guarding and companionship. The inauguration of the Exhibition, integrated into Chocalhos 2011, took place on 28 August at the Palácio do Picadeiro in Alpedrinha. During its tour of the country, the exhibition also visited the Iberian Wolf Recovery Centre.
