Hooldus
Iseloom
Loyal, alert and willing to work with its handler. It tends to be reserved with strangers but is not usually aggressive. It is agile and quick to react.
Liikumine
Daily walks plus active work or play for an hour or more. Herding, hiking and agility suit its agile, athletic build.
Karvahooldus
The medium-length coat needs weekly brushing, with more during seasonal shedding.
Koolitus
Responsive and willing, it learns well with consistent, positive training. Socialise it early to build confidence with strangers.
Tervis
The breed is considered hardy, and few breed-specific problems are documented; hip and elbow dysplasia are the usual checks. Ask the breeder for the parents' hip and elbow results.

Tõust
The Garafian Shepherd comes from Garafía, a rural district in the north of La Palma in the Canary Islands, where it herded goats on steep volcanic slopes. Crossbreeding with imported shepherd dogs threatened the type in the 1980s, and local breeders began recovering it; Spain's kennel club later recognised it.
It is a lively, hardy working dog with a strong bond to its family. It is alert and somewhat reserved with strangers, and it needs regular activity and a job to do. It remains rare outside the Canary Islands, so prospective owners should expect to search for a breeder.
