Origin & historyThe Romanian Carpathian Shepherd Dog comes from Romania. The FCI places it in Group 1 (Sheepdogs & Cattle Dogs): breeds bred to herd and drive livestock.
Grooming & careHigh: dense double coat sheds heavily. Brush often and never shave it, as the coat also shields from sun.

Some breeds and their crosses are restricted or banned in parts of the UAE. Check your municipality's rules before buying or importing a dog.
