Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog vs Stabyhoun

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.

The Stabyhoun is a rare Dutch farm and gundog: medium‑sized, athletic, with a silky feathered coat that sheds seasonally. Gentle, sensitive and people‑oriented, it suits active families, needs daily physical and mental work, and is generally healthy when responsibly bred.
