Subspecies of Canis lupus

Photographer Fred Levy began the “Black Dog Project” when he first heard the stats that show that dark-colored dogs have less chance of adoption than their lighter-colored canines. His mission was to find as many black dogs as possible and photograph these. Some were found via Facebook, others were found at dog shelters.

Romania has for the first time two dog breeds internationally recognized: the Romanian Carpathian Shepherd Dog and the Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog.

Dozens of abandoned golden retrievers "rescued" from Turkey have arrived in Atlanta, U.S. media has reported, adding that English interpreters were hired to help them in their new life.

The Eyes on Four Paws Foundation has organized a photo exhibition entitled ''Awakening''. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition from March 30 to April 8 in Sofia Hall at the Capital's Library, located on the central Slaveikov Square.

More than 200 sheepdogs from the Romanian Shepherd breeds Raven, Mioritic, Carpathian and Bucovina will participate on Sunday in Predeal in the second edition of the National Championship for Romanian Shepherds and in the sixth edition of the show dedicated to these vigorous herd guarding dogs.
