Mioritic Shepherd Activity Requirements

The Moiritic Shepherd is a large, elegant dog that was bred for herding and guarding sheep. While they are a hardy, independent dog, they are also highly affectionate and loyal. While they are not as high energy as some other breeds, they are still an active, athletic dog that loves to run and play. They need about an hour of vigorous exercise a day. This can include trips to the dog park or a long walk or jog. A few minutes playing fetch or tug-of-war can also help them burn off some energy. A Mioritic Shepherd is not a good choice for people who live in an apartment or who don’t have room for a medium to large sized dog. They will need room to run and a substantial fenced in yard. They will also need regular walks and time to play outside.
