Highly Skilled Romanian Shepherd Dogs Fend Off Wolves 🐾 | Smithsonian Channel
Ойын-сауық
Romanian shepherd dogs are believed to have descended from a breed that originated in Mesopotamia, around 9,000 years ago. Today, they are experts at protecting the herd from wolf attacks, especially in the exposed Carpathian mountains.

Hahaha, the dog at 0:23 is undercover and pretending to be a sheep. The wolves will never see him coming.

Sheepmen use these and similar breeds in Colorado. Previously, mountain bikers thought it was hip, slick and cool to go blasting through the sheep flocks. After several got mauled by the dogs, the Forest Service, etc. started handing out pamphlets outlining proper behavior around sheep in the high country.

In the UK if an uncontrolled dog attacks a farmer's sheep (or other livestock) the offending animal can be shot without warning, I'm sure such mountain bikers are also viable targets. 🐑🐑🐑

It’s times like these I hope that methods like these become the norm when reducing human-wildlife conflict. Here in North America, wolves are being slaughtered en masse all because they’re “eating all the deer and leaving hunters with nothing to hunt”. Wild animals aren’t yours, and there are better hobbies than trophy hunting. If people just got smarter and the use of livestock guardian dogs spreads across the planet, we can hopefully decrease our ecofootprint.

Totally agree. But then using guardian dogs in a sensible way I imagine wouldn't help impotence the same way that hunting does. Unless of course you live in the literal middle of nowhere and would not survive otherwise. But then those people aren't usually filming themselves doing it or mowing down hogs from a helicopter!

They're being hunted because we as humans somehow feel it's okay to just take an animals life all for sport...One thing if it's for much needed food but a totally different thing just cause someone felt like doing it...😔
2:44 Absolutely stunning!!

These shepherd dogs eat what their human masters eat: milk, whey, mămăligă, bread and occasionally some meat.
Why only 3 minutes?

The yellow food in the shepherd's hand was not cheese! It was mamaliga, a kind of polenta... the producers made a mistake.

I think the dog just licks/bites at his paws so much that they look like that.
Nice to see. Only.

Why does the dog have blood on him? This feels a bit concerning.

I've never milked a sheep, or goat, or even a cow. Looks disgusting.! I'm a city gal who thinks milk comes in cartons in the frigerated section of my local grocery store. 🐑

I love teaching city gal's about the country. Carrots and celery don't grow bahind the store. It's great work, to plant and tend to crops, and without a gym membership involved.
Don't be fooled by this documentary the dogs are treated badly, beaten and have their noses burned to train them, we know as we have a romanian rescue ex shepard dog. The wonderful shepards tied them to trees to die after they have had their use with them.

My grandfather was a Sheppard . He never hit his dogs . They were very loved and part of the family . They are what the Sheppard ate .
