3 Bulgarian Dog Breeds in Portrait
Four-legged friends from Bulgaria are mainly known to us through →animal welfare. Some →mixed-breed dogs find a new home with us through animal shelters. However, there are 3 Bulgarian dog breeds that are quite well-known, at least on the Balkan Peninsula.
Karakatschan or Karakachan
This Bulgarian dog breed is a herding dog as it should be. Brave, independent, and robust, the Karakachan reliably guards its herd against wolves and bears.
Even though the large, fluffy four-legged friend looks quite cute, it is anything but a cuddly dog. It has a strong protective instinct, which means that strangers and other animals should be quite cautious. Those who do not have a task for the →large four-legged friend should stay away from this Bulgarian dog breed.
Whether from animal welfare or not - our four-legged friends deserve only the best, even in their bowl. With our delicious snacks, you can pamper your furry friend during training or just in between.

Balgarsko Gonche
Used as a tracking dog, this Bulgarian dog breed is a widely used hunting dog in the Balkans. The four-legged friend can always look a little different, as the Balgarsko Gonche is bred not according to a uniform standard but according to hunting suitability.
As is fitting for a hunting dog, the four-legged friend is very active and →intelligent. However, it also has a gentle side that it likes to show to its caregivers. Nevertheless, this Bulgarian dog breed is more suited for experienced hands.
Bulgarski Barak
Also bred for work, the Bulgarski Barak is a small all-round talent among hunting dogs. It is used for hunting large and small game and happily takes on various tasks. It scores with a good sense of direction and excellent endurance.
A look at its coat reveals why the four-legged friend is called "Barak," as it means "shaggy" or "woolly." The wire-haired coat of this large breed can indeed look a bit shaggy, which only makes it more lovable. They show themselves to be gentle and docile towards people, but are still more suitable companions for hunters.
