Character
The Ca de Bou is a peaceful dog who barks little, very affectionate and faithful to his masters, for whom he has an unfailing admiration. They have a balanced character which make them a pleasant family dog. This breed is now respected as a good guard dog and a loyal family pet. Furthermore, they are a very obedient dog and an excellent guardian, sure of themself, dissuasive with strangers and without any free aggressiveness.
Training must be firm but gentle; it is necessary to socialize them well towards the canine species to avoid any accident during a possible runaway.
They can be sensitive or reactive towards fellow dogs of the same sex, especially between males.
Selective breeding for the show ring has softened the Ca de Bou's temperament, and they are now biddable and affectionate, although they retain the tenacity and alertness of their forebears.Шаблон:R
