  • We adopted our dog, Kiro, from a shelter in our town in southern Italy about 6 months ago ... it's time to find out what, exactly, kind of a mutt he is!

    So, what is my Italian rescue mutt? Well, when Connor's sister recently visited us from the States, she brought a doggie DNA text with her. We've been anxiously awaiting its results, and we've put a wager on them, too! Watch the video to see how it went down... (hint: we ALL guessed completely wrong and were totally shocked at the true answer!)

    Kiro;s ancestors wandered from eastern Europe to Italy because Italy is so beautiful. He is such a cutie too! Bravo, Kiro! 😉

      Yes, and (like any other shepard dog) they can become dangerous if you get too close to the herd they are protecting.
      So be carefull when you meet one while hinking.

    when I saw Kiro I totally thought about maremmano abruzzese (just maremmano is incorrect)! Same eyes, same expression, basically maremmano in part of half of the "bastardini" in southern Italy, it's like THE italian working dog. but the charisma of kiro is totally different from pure maremmano (that is shy and need a lot of efforts to be well socialized, being a breed created to fight wolfs and bear...). I see also some "cane pastore italiano", that is similar to balck shepard!

    So what I take away from Eastern European Village Dog is basically a dog with out a breed. If you Google it and go through images there are various breeds and the pic labels it as such. Learned something new! Kiro is adorable!

    I wonder if someone has used that to check the purity of the breed of his own dog.

    Il mio cane è un incrocio tra un segugio maremmano e non so che altra razza però è il cane del mio cuore. In passato ho avuto un cane incrociato con un pastore maremmano ed era gigante pesava poco più di 50 kg 😁

    Pastore Maremmano is an Italian race of dogs, Maremma is famous land between south of Tuscany and north of Latiun just 50 minutes from Rome, east european village dog i never heard too, but i know that in east of Europe it was (i don’t know if it’s true today) common to had this community dogs that walkedfreely from house to house for food.

    • @TheromaB

      Our has the same reaction when we put on him his raincoat.
      It almost looks like you could gently push him to one side and he would fall to the side like a statue.
      Obviously, after 2 seconds that he's been outside he forgets he's wearing it and couldn't care less.
      He is such a drama queen 😂

    Katie, i would like to send you my new novel ( with a dedication, sure) just appeared on amazon, its a mediterranean story between Egypt, Greece, Spain and also Canary Islands (still Spain). I Think you will appreciate for reading in italian, for the adventure itself and also because the coprotagonist is a dog, named Jimmy, behaving quite like Kiro ( and i guess, quite like every dog). Would you give me a p.o.box or an amazon locker or an addresse of a store close to you where you can pick up the book?

    Ok... unfortunately "Eastern european village dog" is a dog breed doesn't exist. Kiro is probably a mixed breed dog; simply a son of "bastardini" from Eastern Europe. That's it! But he's a lovely dog!
