The Romanian Mioritic Shepherd (Romanian: Ciobănesc Românesc Mioritic) is a large breed of livestock guardian dog that originated in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. The male Mioritic stands about 70–75 centimetres (28–30 in) tall at the withers with the female slightly smaller at 65–70 centimetres (26–28 in). This massive dog is covered in thick fluffy hair. It may be white, with or without pale grey or cream patches, or pale grey or cream all over. The dog should have a 'vigorous' appearance. Sexual dimorphism is evident in this breed, with males being significantly larger than females. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
