Figures based on The Royal Kennel Club's published medium-breed guidance, as tabulated by Purina UK. For an exact figure, try the Dog Years calculator.
The Catalan Sheepdog is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a medium breed, typically weighing 17–20 kg as an adult. Hailing from the mountainous Catalonia region of Spain, this herding breed is intelligent, hardworking, and fiercely loyal, hidden beneath a dense, shaggy double coat built to withstand harsh weather.
What this means for your Catalan Sheepdog
Hip dysplasia is seen occasionally given the breed's active, working build, so watch for stiffness or reluctance to exercise as your Catalan Sheepdog ages. The breed is generally considered hardy, with few widely reported breed-specific conditions.
The dense double coat needs regular grooming to prevent matting, which becomes especially important if joint stiffness makes self-grooming harder in later years.
When is a Catalan Sheepdog considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, medium breeds like the Catalan Sheepdog are generally considered senior from around 7 dog years old.
