Bucovina Shepherd Dog

Balanced, calm and loyal, he likes children. It is a very good guardian for flocks, courageous and a real fighter against the possible animals of prey (bear, wolf, and lynx). It has a strong bark. When strangers or animals approach, its barking is very strong, with a low tonality. During the night, it patrols around the household or the flock/herd.

It is a natural breed with its origin in the Carpathian Mountains (Romania and Serbia) and the South of Danube (some regions of Bulgaria). Special attention for the development of the breed arose in the regions of northeastern Romania, the county of Bucovina as well as in the South of the Danube (Serbia) : the well-known transhumance areas of the shepherds since immemorial times. Selection and improvement have lead to the actual type. The breed is successfully used both for defending the flocks and herds and as watchdogs for households in the mentioned regions.

It is not hard to train because it is intelligent and eager to make pleasure to its master. Beautiful results can be achieved with a gentle and consequent training. The master should not forget about uts independent side.

Its fur needs a brushing from time to time for not getting tangled.
