[edit] Appearance
The Mioritic stands about 65-75 cm tall at the withers and weighs 50-60 kg. This massive dog is covered in thick fluffy hair. They look like mops/huge teddy bears.
[edit] Temperament
This breed has one of the best personalities, which recommends this breed as a good choice for many owners.
The Mioritic has discipline as one of their main characteristics. It is a calm and well-mannered dog. As this dog was used as a herd protector, he is very attached to family and goes all the way when protecting those he is attached to. Because of this dog's ability to bond strongly with his master, Mioritic dog training should only be started once the Mioritic puppy is already accustomed to the owner/trainer. The combined strength and loyalty of the Mioritic recommend the breed as a good choice for guard dogs, pets, and flock dogs.

The breed was officially recognized by the FCI in 2005.
