Bucovina Shepherd Dog

The Romanian Bucovina Shepherd Dog (Romanian: Ciobănesc Românesc de Bucovina) is a breed of livestock guardian dogs native to the historical Bukovina (Bucovina) region. The breed is closely related to other livestock guardian breeds of the region, such as the Greek Shepherd, Tornjak, or Šarplaninac. There are four Romanian shepherd dog breeds: the Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog (old name Barac), the Carpathian Shepherd Dog (old name Zăvod), the Romanian Raven Shepherd Dog, and the Bucovina Shepherd Dog. In the FCI, this particular breed is officially dubbed the "Romanian Bucovina Shepherd".
