The Majorca Shepherd Dog (Catalan: Ca de bestiar, Spanish: Perro de pastor mallorquín) is a domesticated breed of dog, used in the Balearic Islands of Spain, both for guarding and herding sheep and as a general purpose farm dog. It is a medium-sized dog with black fur or black with white markings on its chest. It comes in both shorthaired and longhaired varieties. The Majorca Shepherd Dog is a tall, up to 73 cm and up to 40 kg (88 lb) shepherd and guard dog. Most of the breed is short-haired, about 1.5 to 3 cm long on the back, with a very fine, thin undercoat. In the long haired variety, the hair is slightly wavy on the back and can reach over 7 cm in length in the winter. In the long-haired variety the undercoat is well distributed and not thick, showing varying shades of black. The ears, which are slightly bent from the side, are relatively small, triangular, thick and set high on the head. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
