Meet Bobi

The purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo

celebrated his 30th birthday last year

breaking a nearly century-old record

(Leonel Costa, Bobi’s owner)

"We can name three or four factors but living in the countryside, next to agriculture, nature, without a doubt, in my opinion, is one of the three main factors to explain Bobi's longevity. The fact that he has never been chained in his life, was never tied to a chain or caged. Bobi has never been imprisoned and that feeling of freedom has been an important factor. And of course our love and affection throughout his life has also helped but he is the builder of this deed."

Bobi was 30 years and 269 days old as of February 4
