Default Please can you help identify this breed of dog?

Hello All

I took some photos of this dog in Southern Spain - please see the 2 attachments.

He was about German Shepherd size, very docile but with a loud authoritative bark and very quick learning. Someone said they thought it was some sort of Spanish Goat Herding Dog but I have not found anything on the net to confirm or deny this.

Please can you let me know what you think it is ? A pure breed or perhaps more likely a cross/Heinz 57 ??

Many thanks

Hobbers
