Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog vs Goldendoodle

Large, powerful livestock guardian from Romania’s Carpathians, with a robust build and long, dense, shaggy coat. Calm and devoted with family but reserved with strangers, it is independent, strongly territorial, needs early socialisation, firm fair training, space, and experienced ownership.

Goldendoodle: friendly, people‑oriented cross of Golden Retriever and Poodle, usually medium–large and athletic. Intelligent and highly trainable, it suits active families and often excels as a therapy dog. Coat is wavy to curly with low shedding but needs frequent grooming and care.
