Description
The Ciobănesc Românesc Corb is a majestic, independent spirit with a heart of gold. These impressive dogs are intensely loyal to their families, acting as watchful guardians with a calm, discerning gaze. They aren't prone to effusive greetings with strangers, preferring to observe before offering their cautious approval. Their ancestral role as livestock protectors against formidable predators means they possess an innate bravery and a strong sense of responsibility. While highly intelligent, they require consistent, confident guidance; a Corb will respect a fair leader, but push boundaries with an uncertain one. Living with a Corb means sharing a bond built on mutual trust and admiration for their steadfast devotion.
