Romanian Mioritic Sheperd Dog

A calm and stable dog. A good herd dog, very courageous and efficient fighter against possible animals prey (bear, wolf, lynx). Wary of strangers. He likes children.

The Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog was selected from a natural breed of the Carpathian mountains, the principle reason being utility. This breed has many fanciers in Romania because of its vigorous appearance.

The standard was drafted by the Romanian Cynological Association in 1981. The Technical Commission of the R.C.A. adapted and revised the Standard on 29.03.2002 to conform to the F.C.I model established in Jerusalem.

It is not hard to train because it is submissive and eager to make pleasure to its master. A gentle and consequent training can be made.

It needs constant care. The brushing of the fur begins since an early age and it is made frequently (weekly), intense especially during the moulting periods when it loses a lot of hair. This represents an inconvenient for those who wish to keep it inside even though it is a good and peaceful companion. The hair grown in excess between the pads of the and the ears must be removed.
