Romanian dog breeds

Dogs in Romania

Romania, a country rich in history and culture, located at the crossroads of Central and Eastern Europe, also has a deep and vibrant relationship with its dogs. This is reflected in its native dog breeds, which are perfectly adapted to the country's climate and geography.

Modern trends

As in many European countries, international dog breeds have also become popular in Romania. Breeds such as the Labrador Retriever, the German Shepherd and the Golden Retriever are also widespread in Romanian households. Nevertheless, there is still a strong interest in traditional Romanian dog breeds among dog lovers and efforts are being made to preserve and promote them.

One of the biggest challenges in Romania is the problem of street dogs in many cities. However, there are non-profit organizations and activists working to find solutions, raise awareness and improve the welfare of these dogs.

The role of dogs in Romanian society
