The Romanian Carpathian Shepherd Dog (Template:Lang-ro) is a large breed of livestock guardian dogs that originated in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania.[1]

History

In March 1998, a group of fans of the Carpathian Shepherd Dog founded the Carpathian Shepherd Dogs Club. The club was later renamed the National Club of Carpathian Shepherd Dog Breeders. The club observed that there many Carpathians in Rucăr, Argeș County that are considered ancestors of today's Carpathians.

A conference on the factors involved in the Romanian breeds took place in Bistrița in March 2003. The provisional homologation of the Carpathian Shepherd Dog was approved on July 6, 2005 in Buenos Aires.

Health

The breed has a life expectancy of about 12–14 years.

Temperament

A very devoted, well-mannered, courageous dog, it was originally used to protect flocks of sheep or its master from any potential harm during herding (bears, wolves, thieves, etc...).
