The Karakachan dog is a typical shepherd dog of Bulgaria. It is one of the oldest #guarding dogs for herds of farm #animals in Europe. In Bulgaria, the dog is also called by its synonyms - Shepherd's dog, Shepherd's dog, Wolf dog, Wallachian dog. The Karakachan #dog is a local #breed of ancient origin, bred to protect herds of farm animals from predators and thieves. The breed has been preserved to this day thanks to the conservative livestock #traditions of the #Karakachani sheep breeders on our lands, migrating every #season between the plains and the mountains. #chan #chans #animals #bells #sheep #goats October 14, 2012
